Felpham Community College is an 11-18 local authority, mixed comprehensive with 1600 students on roll and a successful sixth form. In October 2024 OFSTED confirmed our 'Good' status originally achieved in January 2016. This is an exciting time to join Felpham following the opening of our £11.5M new build programme in late 2019, providing outstanding facilities for our students and staff.

We are seeking to appoint a Computer Science teacher to join an established and effective team of specialists. The department has an ambition curriculum map that leads students through their 7-year journey at FCC. Teachers regularly share ideas and work collaboratively to review, refine, and develop schemes of work that inspire and enthuse students. This role would equally suit an ECT or more experienced colleague.

The successful applicant will be keen to immerse themselves in this effective team, contributing to the future development of the department. They will be required to teach Computer Science and ICT across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. Applicants should have a working knowledge of Python and 1 other High Level programming language would be desirable. As a Gold Unicef Rights Respecting school, a desire to build strong, effective relationships with students and staff to foster a cohesive, inclusive, and positive school environment is also sought.

The specialist subject knowledge to deliver Computer Science to GCSE at KS4 A level is essential, and the ability to teach in KS5 would be desirable. As a learning community, we pride ourselves on offering opportunities for career development and whole school responsibility. We would welcome your application to become part of our team.
