Teacher of Computer Science

“Coleridge Community College is a small, family and community orientated school in Cambridge. It’s a school where every child and staff member is known, developed and supported.  We value our staff highly and treat workload seriously.

We are looking for someone that shares these values and passionately believes that all children can achieve, no matter their starting point, background or needs. We are looking for the right people to join our team. The post holder will be required to work in partnership with the Principal to bring about continuous improvement of the school in order to ensure high standards of academic achievement for pupils, high quality teaching and learning experiences for pupils and high standards of behaviour in lessons and around the school.

You will be joining a school that is ambitious for its future as well as the future of all its students and so are looking for colleagues who share that ambition and are uncompromising in their commitment to doing what it takes to secure the potential of the young people here.

Our most important purpose is to teach young people things they would not learn outside school which empower them. We believe that ‘Knowledge Is Power’. We have high expectations and standards, and we teach through explicit/direct instruction (using the Rosenshine Principles) and utilising TLAC 3.0 techniques. In this way, we achieve strong GCSE outcomes, excellent student conduct and a feeling of community throughout the College.

Our mission is to bring out ‘the best in everyone’. We are unashamedly ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. We also believe in ‘Education with Character’ – we want young people to look back on a schooling that has inspired and challenged them, given them wide opportunity and prepared them for the ups and downs of life.”
