Description

We are passionate about educating, supporting and creating the next generation of digital pioneers in our Sixth Form and our Apprenticeship Programme.

We are a specialist digital college where all our students are passionate about tech and we are committed to supporting them to progress onto highly skilled roles in the digital sector.

All students study computer science for at least 50% of their curriculum, with regular off-curriculum industry projects with partners such as King Games, Deloitte, Bank of America and Salesforce.

We received Good with Outstanding Behaviour and Attitudes and Personal Development in our latest Ofsted inspection in March 2023.

A message from the Principal - I joined Ada because I recognised a workplace and leaders who want to educate young people differently. I really want you to join Ada and feel you can play an integral part in the College as we evolve towards Ada 2.0, embodied by our relocation to our new campus in Pimlico.

I am interested in finding people who are keen to make a contribution to our vision.

I am looking for a leader who is super passionate about our mission, to educate and empower the next generation of diverse digital talent, and is focused on continuing to grow the quality of the sixth form intake, in London and beyond, so we can remain England's No.
