Teacher of Computing & Enterprise

Ladybridge High School is a warm, friendly and successful school with a clear mission and agreed beliefs that are shared across the school community.  We are focused on achieving strong academic outcomes through a rounded education that prepares our learners for life.  We are committed to our ‘Trivium’ approach to education, which is summarised on our website here.

The wonderfully diverse population of learners, the emphasis on professional learning for staff and the friendly atmosphere make Ladybridge an interesting and enjoyable place to work.  We aspire to be an ‘evidence-informed’ school where teachers are encouraged to read, research, collaborate and take calculated risks in the classroom.

All teaching staff at Ladybridge have a generous allocation of non-contact time: typically, 20%, which is double the legal minimum requirement.  Teaching staff also have a flexible working afternoons once per fortnight.  This ensures that our staff have the time to carry out their role to the highest possible standard, whilst having a genuine work-life balance.

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and knowledgeable Teacher of Computing and Enterprise.  If you are looking for a department where your voice is heard and your professional growth is supported, Ladybridge High School is the place for you.  As a small, tight-knit Computing and Enterprise team, we believe in the power of collaboration.  We operate with a "team-first" mentality, sharing ideas and workload to ensure our learners receive an outstanding education.

You won’t be starting from scratch; our curriculum is fully embedded and meticulously resourced, supported by robust systems that streamline your daily life in the classroom. However, we also pride ourselves on a curriculum that is rich and forward-thinking. In addition to covering the Key Stage 3 curriculum, we engage in & ‘Trivium’ projects where our learners solve real-world problems and explore challenges that push them to think outside the box.

Our students don’t just learn theory; they apply it through ambitious, creative projects, such as:

●        Using Sonic Pi to compose original musical scores for video games

●        Designing and building automated plant-watering robots for our school polytunnel

●        Developing and creating a kiosk system for a local zoo

We are seeking a knowledgeable and forward-thinking Teacher of Computing and Enterprise who can bring fresh ideas to the department. We value educators who enjoy working with autonomy—someone who can take our established frameworks and run with them, adding their own unique flair to our delivery. If you are a proactive professional ready to contribute to this innovative culture and inspire the next generation of digital and business leaders, we would love to hear from you.
