Common questions about this role
Can I negotiate the salary at The Horizon School?
Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it. The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities.
What qualifications are required for a HOD Computer Science?

Is this a contract or permanent role?
