UPS / MPS and TLR 1b (£13,546)

Required – 1st September 2024

We are a highly successful, community mixed comprehensive school with Teaching School status in a pleasant rural setting only 5 miles from the centre of Cambridge. We currently have around 1800 11-18 pupils on roll including our sixth form centre that opened in September 2011.

As a result of the current postholder being promoted within the school we are seeking to appoint inspirational and forward-thinking individual to lead our team of highly skilled and committed teachers.

Our pupils are well motivated and staff morale is excellent. The school has consistently been rated by Ofsted as Outstanding over very many years. All students have iPads for learning which are used in science lessons for note taking, animations and recording practical observations. The department has 5 science technicians alongside 22 subject specialists. From 2024 the department will be adding environmental science A level to sit alongside the traditional science A level subjects. The pupils are all taught in mixed ability groups and the department believe all pupils have the right to access separate science GCSE which is selected as an option subject.

We believe the College can offer you a very good professional environment and a lively and friendly place in which to work.If you like what you have read and would like to be part of Comberton Village College, we would welcome your application.
