Safety topics while gaining hands on experience with computers and common applications. They are introduced to networks, the Internet and smart devices, and they begin block based programming, learning sequence, selection and iteration. In Year 8, students deepen their digital literacy through practical work with varied software and online tools. They extend their programming knowledge by creating more advanced Scratch projects and learning how subroutines help structure programs. They study binary, denary conversion and basic logic gates using truth tables. Students apply computational thinking through flowcharts and pseudocode and are introduced to Python, where they practise sequence, selection, iteration and debugging syntax errors. In Year 9, students build on their existing knowledge with a strong focus on programming, cybersecurity and data science. They revisit binary and explore how computers store different types of data, including images and audio. Their Python skills develop further through work on programming constructs, data types and libraries such as random. Students then use these skills in a substantial programming project involving planning, development, testing and evaluation, supported by effective use of subroutines. At KS4, students follow the GCSE Computer Science specification, which combines programming and theory. They rapidly develop their coding skills and complete a substantial programming project using all required constructs. Theory lessons cover the core GCSE content, including Computer Systems, Boolean Logic, Algorithms, Cybersecurity and Data Representation, while programming lessons focus on applying techniques to exam style problems. In Year 11, students study additional topics such as searching and sorting algorithms, computer networks and the impact of computing, with an increased focus on real world cybercrime. For the next academic year we may consider a different KS4 course for our students. The ICT department has a positive interest around the subject at KS4 and our intent is to grow the subject further.

Teacher of Academic Music and Musicianship We are seeking to appoint an inspirational teacher capable of delivering the highest standards of teaching and learning in a world-leading specialist music school. The Academic Music Department at the Purcell School offers a unique programme of study, which forms an important part of every student's specialist musical education. Analysis and aural awareness are at the heart of everything we do and high-level training in these areas is a core component of the curriculum for every student. In Years 7 to 9, students study a series of topics which form the basis of creative and analytical projects, designed to expand their general musical knowledge and inform their practical studies. In Year 10, students follow the AQA GCSE music syllabus and in Year 11, they prepare for Sixth Form study through an in-depth study of larger scale works. In the Sixth Form, we currently offer A Level Music (OCR) and, in an exciting expansion of our provision, we have recently announced our intention to offer a new vocational pathway (RSL Diploma in Creative Music Industry) from September 2026. Students opting for the vocational programme will complete a broad music course, equivalent in size to three A Levels, with tailored classes designed for those in our classical performance, jazz, commercial, music production and composition departments. The school's Musicianship Programme runs in tandem with the above. In Years 7 and 8, pupils attend three Musicianship classes per week: these small-group classes include opportunities to explore music theory and analysis from aural and practical perspectives. From Year 9, students can choose from a range of electives (including advanced analysis, grades 6-8 music theory, keyboard skills, music technology and conducting), all designed to complement their instrumental studies and their core aural, analysis and exam classes. All students attend a weekly composition class and choir rehearsal. Purcell students achieve exceptional grades in Music and nearly all go on to study the subject at either conservatoire or university. Students who intend to apply to university to read Music are prepared for entrance examinations and interviews, with recent school leavers taking up places at Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and SOAS. Music teachers at the Purcell school have a varied timetable and the successful candidate should expect to contribute to the delivery of music history, analysis, composition and general musicianship programmes and to work with students from across the age range. This will include classes linked to GCSE, A Level and Diploma programmes. In addition, we encourage our teachers to develop their own projects and courses, as related to their own musical specialisms and interests. Depending on expertise, experience and qualifications, there may also be opportunities for the successful candidate to contribute to the delivery of performance classes and/or our music technology programmes. TERMS AND CONDITIONS This is a full time post to start on 1st September 2026. The salary will be based on the School's salary scale, according to the successful candidate's experience, with a contributory pension scheme.
