Supported by the generous funding of the Hg Foundation, we are delighted to offer an exciting and genuinely unique opportunity for an experienced Teacher of Computing.
Required from September 2026
(0.7 FTE, 2 year fixed term)
Supported by the generous funding of the Hg Foundation, we are delighted to offer an exciting and genuinely unique opportunity for an experienced Teacher of Computing. This two-fold role combines teaching pupils at Bolton School with a primary focus on leading and delivering Computing Partnership projects with pupils and teachers from other schools.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and innovative part-time (0.7 FTE) teacher to join us from September 2026 on a fixed-term contract until 31 August 2028. There is strong potential for the role to continue beyond this period, subject to securing ongoing funding. The successful candidate will be expected to demonstrate clear impact and proof of concept across a range of initiatives, helping to build a compelling case for future investment.
The role will be based at Bolton School, where you will teach for part of your 0.7 FTE timetable. The remainder of your time will be dedicated to outreach and partnership work, focused on raising attainment and broadening access to Computing opportunities for pupils in local state-funded schools. You will also contribute to developing the confidence and expertise of non-specialist Computing teachers across partner schools. Working hours will align with Bolton state school term dates rather than those of Bolton School.
We are looking for someone with energy, creativity, and an entrepreneurial mindset—an outstanding practitioner who can inspire, motivate, and innovate. This is an opportunity for a true “tech champion” to shape meaningful educational impact beyond the classroom.

With some 2,500 pupils, Bolton School is a large, thriving, academically selective day school. It is situated a mile or so from the town centre in a stunning 32 acre campus and is within easy reach of some of the nation’s finest cities and countryside.
In Autumn 2021, significant changes were made to the leadership structure of the School Foundation, investing the newly created position of Head of Foundation with overall responsibility. Within the new structure, there are three sections: Girls’ Division, Boys’ Division and Primary Division. A Head of each Division and the Head of Foundation, together with the Clerk and Treasurer and Director of Operational Services, are the Foundation’s Senior Officers; they are directly accountable to the Governors.
Two adjoining and similar buildings, now attached by a state-of-the art Sixth Form Centre, house the Boys’ and Girls’ Senior Schools, each of which provides a traditional academic education from the age of 11 years. The Primary Division includes separate Junior Schools for boys and girls from the age of 7 and a co-educational Infant School and Nursery.
Academic results at GCSE and A Level consistently place Bolton School amongst the top schools in the North of England and often within the top 100 nationally. The School is also renowned for its provision of a wide range of enrichment activities, which take place both during and after the school day. It serves a wide area of the North West, collecting pupils on over 20 coach routes, and provides fee assistance to a substantial proportion of the student body - one in five Senior School pupils currently receives a bursary.
The vast majority of students progress to their first choice university and the School provides a regular supply of Sixth Formers to highly competitive courses and universities. Whilst the academic work of the two senior schools is largely separate, there are occasionally joint Sixth Form classes and there is considerable collaboration in extra-curricular activities.
Entry to the Junior and Senior Schools is by competitive examination and interview. Interest in the School remains robust and numbers on the school roll have increased in recent years.
Since 2022, the school has formalised its approach to evidence-based practice with the formation of the Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI). The Centre facilitates both research engagement as well as supporting action research.
Our aim is to ensure Bolton School is at the forefront of educational and pedagogical development. The CERI has a pivotal role in working alongside teachers to investigate the impact of innovation in the classroom. Foundation wide, we are well equipped to test emerging theory and to understand what will give the greatest benefit to students.
The Centre works with staff across our Primary and Senior Schools but also looks beyond to collaborate with external institutions, both universities and other schools seeking to share and develop knowledge and understanding of what helps children and young people to learn.
For further details and to apply online for the position, please visit the School website.
Closing date for applications: Monday 20 April 2026 at 9.00am
Applications will be considered in order of receipt, and interviews may take place prior to the closing date.
A generous level of PPA is provided which allows members of staff, as valued professionals, to manage their time appropriately and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
We aspire to have a diverse and inclusive workplace to reflect the diversity of our pupils and strongly encourage suitably qualified applicants from a wide range of backgrounds to apply and to join Bolton School. As an equal opportunities employer, we welcome applicants from all sections of the community and are committed to the equal treatment of all current and prospective employees. We do not condone discrimination on the basis of age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, or marriage and civil partnership.
Bolton School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. The successful candidate will be required to undertake an Enhanced Criminal Records Check for Regulated Activity.
