About the Computer Science Department



The Computer Science department at Trinity School is a vibrant and innovative team, dedicated to advancing the knowledge and skills of our students in digital technologies. We aim to strengthen our existing talented team. We possess a clear curriculum vision for Computer Science and are in search of a dedicated and skilled professional to bring this vision to life in the classroom.



In Key Stages 3, all students engage with Computer Science once a week, fostering early interest and foundational skills in this crucial field. We introduce students early to programming through user-friendly platforms like Scratch and Python, which serve as building blocks for more advanced studies.



At Key Stage 4, students can choose between two pathways: a Computer Science GCSE with OCR as the exam board, or a Vocational ICT course under the WJEC exam board. Each year group at this stage has approximately 5 lessons per fortnight. The early introduction to programming prepares students effectively for the rigors of the GCSE curriculum, providing them with a solid foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of computing and information technologies.



For Key Stage 5, our offerings are currently vocational with a plan to expand into A-level courses in the near future. We offer the Cambridge Technicals Level 3 in ICT, which comprises five units completed over two years with OCR as the exam board. This course is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of ICT, preparing students for further education and diverse career opportunities in the tech industry.



Our department is progressive, utilizing the latest technology to enhance teaching and learning experiences. We employ interactive boards, enabling dynamic classroom interactions and flexible, precise teaching methods suited to the complex nature of computer science.



We are looking for a passionate, innovative, and collaborative individual to join our forward-thinking team and help us continue to develop a cutting-edge Computer Science curriculum that meets the needs and aspirations of our students

What the school offers its staff



THE TRUST

Barton Court Academy Trust (BCAT) is a multi-academy Trust which was established in 2017.

It currently consists of three secondary schools: Barton Court Grammar School, an 11-18 years, mixed selective school in the heart of Canterbury, rated “Good” with many outstanding features by Ofsted in February 2020; The Charles Dickens School, an 11-16 years mixed non-selective school in Broadstairs, rated “Good” by Ofsted in March 2023 and Barton Manor Free School, an 11–18 years non-selective mixed school in the heart of Canterbury which opened to Year 7 in September 2022 and as the school grows now has Y7 & 8 from September 2023.

OUR SCHOOL

The Charles Dickens School is a successful, over-subscribed, non-selective 11-16 school located in Broadstairs, Kent. We have a vision and a determination to provide our community with an excellent school and we are making great progress towards this. Our results in 2022 identified us as the most improved school in Kent (out of 101 secondary schools) and one of the most improved schools in the country, and our results in 2023 are similarly strong. Schools Week identified us as the 8thmost improved school in the country between 2019 and 2023, for schools with an above average proportion of Pupil Premium pupils. Our recent Ofsted Inspection in March 2023 graded the School "Good" in every category.

To work here is to embrace the challenges of an economically-diverse community and understand the influence education has in addressing social immobility. There are few schools in the country where a teacher’s ability to change lives is so evident. Without hyperbole, this is a career-defining mission. We’re looking for brilliant people to join us on our journey.

The School has excellent facilities. All rooms are equipped with state-of-the art electronic interactive whiteboards. There are excellent specialist facilities for sport, hospitality, engineering, dance, drama, music and art. We have a Specialist Resource Provision for visually-impaired children. We offer and value a broad curriculum aimed at promoting talent beyond traditional academic subjects. Our significant investment in professional development drives colleagues’ continuous improvement. This is a place where everyone improves regardless of their career stage.
