About the job

“A good programmer is someone who always looks both ways before crossing a one-way street.” - Doug Linder

Do you want to teach students about the future of our reliance on technology?

An outstanding Secondary school in Suffolk has partnered with us to find them a passionate and enthusiastic Computer Science graduate to start training with them. East Bergholt High School already works with Grad2Teach’s Salaried Teacher Training programme. You will need to display genuine dedication to furthering children's knowledge in computer science as well as their development. Computers take up most of children’s lives in some way, and this would be an opportunity to teach them how to use them productively to make an impact on their and others’ daily lives. If this opportunity sounds interesting to you, then Grad2Teach is here to help you take an alternative route to become a qualified educator through our Salaried Teacher Training programme.

East Bergholt High School believes every pupil deserves the right to learn from a curriculum that helps them grow, helps them reach the highest possible grade they can reach, and gives them the behavioural traits and morals to develop healthy professional and personal lives after school. They have built a strong community in their school using 3 ‘rules’: Treating people how you want to be treated, celebrating diversity, and aspiring to be the best you can be. Every member of the team at this School is expected to ‘go the extra mile’ and push themselves to the limits of performance and it is seen as a key indicator of the school’s continued progression that when teachers leave, it tends to be to take on leadership roles elsewhere. The Head Teacher and Governors are proud of the low staff turnover rates at this school and believe these are driven by their consistent focus on CPD and internal promotion.
