Welcome to Ada At Ada, the National College for Digital Skills, our mission is to empower the next generation of diverse digital talent. By combining high-quality education with deep industry partnerships, we are expanding the talent pipeline, diversifying the tech sector, and transforming lives. As a specialist Further Education college, all our students study Computing, while our Higher Level and Degree Apprentices work in high-demand disciplines within innovative, blue-chip companies. Bridging the Skills Gap The UK s digital skills gap costs the economy an estimated £63 billion annually in lost GDP. Ada addresses this by equipping young people with the specific skills the industry requires. Since being announced by the Prime Minister in 2014 as England s first new FE College since 1993, we have consistently excelled, earning "Good with Outstanding features" in our first two Ofsted inspections. Our Reach and Impact We operate from state-of-the-art campuses in Victoria, London, and Ancoats, Manchester, fostering a supportive, values-driven environment for students and staff alike. Our current learner demographics reflect our commitment to inclusion: 33% Female 62% Ethnic minority backgrounds 27% Low-income households 48% From low-income areas. Our London Sixth Form currently enrolls 216 students, delivering nation-leading results: The qualification achievement rate (QAR) is 84% with those from disadvantaged backgrounds (measured as eligible for FSM) at 88%. The BTEC pass rate achieved is 100%, with 65% of learners attaining the highest grades (Distinction or Distinction). The programs successfully lead to 91% positive destinations for learners. Expanding our curriculum In response to our successful roll out of T Levels from September 2024 we are expecting to expand the offer of the program in Digital Software Development with up to 75 learners across both our campuses with London hosting up to 50 learners. This includes a 315-hour industry placement and a comprehensive skills program designed to launch successful careers in tech. We are also looking ahead to launching new V Levels in 2027 in response to the DfE launch of distinct programmes of study. Key aspects of the role and main duties Teach Computer Science to Ada students, maintaining outstanding standards of teaching, learning and assessment. Support the college in developing an inventive approach to teaching, learning and assessment in computer science so that all students are challenged effectively and enabled not simply to achieve high outcomes but also to gain an excellent understanding of the subject which propels them into successful progression routes. Prepare high quality learning resources that reflect the Ada Approach to Collaborative Professionalism. Provide academic and pastoral support for students in their lessons, as well as support outside lessons (e.g. after college or during part of lunch) to ensure that every student makes continuous and effective progress. Support student progress by providing constructive feedback both in lesson and on homework submitted that systematically checks learners understanding, identifies misconceptions accurately and provides clear, direct strategies for improvement. Provide written feedback on students progress to the college, to parents/carers and to students themselves where appropriate and as directed by Senior Leaders. Be a Team Lead (Form Tutor) and support, through mentoring and intervention, the personal development and academic progress of the students in your Team in line with Ada s Social Mission and commitment to diversity and inclusion. Ensure you incorporate relevant industry support into your classroom teaching, e.g., through guest speakers, industry visits, subject competitions and that you take an active part in Ada s industry projects. Participate fully in the learning community of Ada teachers, for example by regularly observing colleagues and welcoming observations in return and by contributing enthusiastically to discussions around teaching and learning. Provide or contribute to written assessments, reports and references relating to individual students and groups of students. Participate in arrangements for preparing students for public examinations and in assessing students for the purposes of such examinations.
