Teacher of Computer Science

Welcome to The Cooper School, where we work within the local community to prepare and motivate all of our students to develop their full potential as individuals and as members of society.

Our students, and their parents and carers, have very high expectations for learning - they know that good educational outcomes can make an important difference to their lives. Our students also want to learn in surroundings which are safe, happy and supportive. They need an environment which helps them be the best version of themselves, wherever they start, and wherever they’re going.

Every decision we make, and every idea we implement, is designed to improve our students’ opportunities and outcomes - both in learning new skills, and in developing as people.

We are now seeking to appoint a Computer Science Teacher to join our team from January 2027.

Visits to the school are warmly welcomed - we would encourage you to book a visit to experience, for yourself, the ethos and feel of our school. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss the role in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact us on the details provided.
