We are seeking to appoint an outstanding teacher to lead our Business, Economics and Computing provision. We deliver a broad curriculum across these key areas of the school offering GCSE in Business and Computing and A level, Economics at A level as well as the Finance Qualification from the LIBF at level 2 in year 9 and level 3 in the Sixth Form.
