Wood Green is an oversubscribed 11-18 Academy school in the thriving town of Witney, close to the Cotswolds and with excellent transport links to Oxford and London. Our strong reputation and results improving year-on-year have led to a rapid rise in student applications. We believe strongly in a culture of mutual respect and strong relationships, underpinned by our LEARNWell values. Our school mission is “to develop exceptional, well-qualified and well-rounded young people who make a positive contribution to our school, our community and the world”. This demonstrates our commitment to the whole child, academically and personally.

We are now looking for a talented and enthusiastic teacher to join our Computing Department.

This is a permanent full-time post from September 2024. Computing is increasingly popular at KS4 and A level Computing was introduced in 2022. This is an excellent opportunity for a committed, passionate teacher who is ready to teach Computing from KS3 to 5 and to contribute to curriculum development in this crucial subject.

We are looking for staff who:

  • Want to be excellent practitioners in their subjects
  • Want to inspire students to learn and grow, both in and out of the classroom
  • Are keen to collaborate to achieve our shared aims and to develop best practice, and to find solutions to our challenges together
  • Want to keep learning and growing throughout their career
  • Are committed to helping all our young people to be exceptional, well-qualified and well-rounded people who make a positive contribution to our school, our community and the world

What we will offer:

  • A school where staff ‘value the care and consideration that the school takes regarding their workload’ (Ofsted October 2024)
  • Committed department teams with the autonomy to innovate, within an effective aligned approach to teaching
  • Access to high quality CPD 
  • A genuine commitment to staff wellbeing – wellbeing is a core value and staff wellbeing is one of our strategic priorities. We care about our staff as teachers and as people.
