About Us

Wembley High Technology College is one of the highest performing schools in the country. Nationally, the achievement of our pupils is exceptional; in 2024, our Progress 8 score of +1.43 meant that our students on average achieved nearly one and a half grades higher than their peers nationally. This progress from Key Stage 2 to GCSE has a transformative impact on our pupils’ life chances and last year, over 60% of pupils leaving us went on to Russell Group universities to study a range of academic subjects.  

The Computer Science Department

‘Achievement for All’ is the ethos that underpins everything we do across the WMAT, and the Computer Science Department plays a vital role in equipping students with the digital literacy, computational thinking and problem-solving skills they need to thrive in an increasingly technological world. Computer Science at Wembley High Technology College is a highly valued and forward-looking subject, central to our commitment to preparing students for future study and employment.

The Computer Science Department is led by enthusiastic, highly skilled and committed teachers, working with motivated, ambitious and capable students. All students study Computer Science in Key Stage 3, ensuring a strong foundation in computational thinking, programming and online safety. At Key Stage 4, students follow GCSE Computer Science and the Digital Information Technology BTEC Tech Award, providing both academic and vocational pathways that meet the needs and aspirations of all learners.

The department has a clear focus on high-quality teaching, collaborative planning and the use of industry-relevant software and resources. Lessons are designed to be engaging, challenging and inclusive, with a strong emphasis on real-world applications of computing and digital technologies. Students are encouraged to develop resilience, creativity and independence as learners.

Computer Science is further enriched through a growing co-curricular offer, supporting students to deepen their interest and extend their skills beyond the classroom. The subject also plays a key role in the school’s wider commitment to online safety and digital responsibility, with key concepts revisited through a spiral curriculum.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and reflective Teacher of Computer Science to join a department that is well-resourced, highly collaborative and committed to continuous improvement, in a school where technology, innovation and opportunity are central to the student experience.
