- Be positive and enthusiastic with a ‘can do’ attitude.
- Be fully committed to inclusion ensuring every child gains the best possible experience from their school years with us
- Be committed to self-development and engage with ongoing CPD;
- Be prepared to act as subject leader for computing and champion this part of the curriculum across both schools.
