Teacher of Computer Science

Thank you for your interest in joining our teaching team at The Island Free School.

The Island Free School is an extremely successful and popular secondary school based in Ventnor. Our school is highly academic and all pupils follow the English Baccalaureate, with GCSE programmes of study in all subject areas. The school, which was created by parents and teachers, opened to year 7 pupils in 2014 and we are now at capacity with 625 pupils across 5 year groups. Our model has proved very popular with Island families and we continue to be over-subscribed.

Since opening, we have built a highly effective team of teachers and support staff with a shared passion to create an extraordinary school for Island families. Our school has a specialism in music and all pupils are given free music tuition and instruments in key stage 3. At the end of each day all pupils and staff engage in a wide range of creative and sporting activities as part of our enrichment programme.

We have been rated Good with Outstanding personal development, behaviour and welfare by Ofsted in our first inspection and we encourage you to read our Ofsted report.

We seek to appoint a Teacher of Computer Science, to join our exceptional team and help to ensure we meet the expectations of our pupils, their families and staff. The ability to offer a second curriculum subject to Key Stage 3 would be an advantage. This post is open to early career, and more experienced, qualified colleagues.

The successful candidate can expect a balanced teaching load, high quality professional development, potential for career advancement, a competitive salary and the opportunity to enjoy coming to work each day.
