Job Description
King Edward’s School is seeking to appoint a full-time or part-time Teacher of Computer Science to teach across the full age range from 1 September 2026 or January 2027. It is an opportunity to join a strong, enthusiastic department in an exceptional school. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and no experience of working in the independent sector is required. The school teaches OCR J277 GCSE Computer Science & OCR H446 A Level Computer Science. A willingness to participate in the wider life of the School with pastoral care duties and help with co-curricular activities is expected.
Computing at King Edward’s School
King Edward’s is continually striving to be a centre of technological excellence, fostering innovation to prepare students for an ever-changing future. In September 2025, Computer Science was introduced at KES with the launch of OCR GCSE Computer Science and OCR A Level Computer Science for Year 12 students. The subject has quickly become popular at both GCSE and A Level, with many students aspiring to study Computer Science at university, driven by a growing interest in artificial intelligence which is encouraged.
We remain committed to nurturing students’ individual interests and consistently encourage them to extend their learning beyond the formal curriculum. This is achieved through the support of student-led artificial intelligence groups, the delivery of staff training initiatives, and engagement with external organisations to inspire and motivate learners. A notable example is the annual TechFirst event, which was held in February of this year. This is an exciting opportunity to join the department and contribute to shaping the future impact of Computer Science here at KES.
