Required for January 2024 a well-qualified and enthusiastic Computing Teacher at this successful 11-18 girls’ grammar school in Reading. Graded ‘Outstanding’ in its recent OFSTED inspection in November 2022, Kendrick School is a centre of academic excellence with a track record of high performance and achievement.

Kendrick School has a very good track record of developing ECTs and the successful candidate would be joining a supportive and very experienced department. More experienced teachers are also welcome to apply. There would be opportunities for professional development and training within the department and the school as a whole.
The recent Ofsted report, November 2022 stated: “Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary both in lessons and around the school. They respect and exemplify the values within the school pledge. Pupils love being here. Attendance is high, pupils are punctual, and lessons are free from any low-level disruption”
Kendrick School is a welcoming, inclusive and happy community, with students who are engaging, cooperative and eager to learn. Benefits include free car parking, a contributory pension scheme, training and development and use of the swimming pool and sporting facilities.
