The three secondary schools, Coleridge Community College, Parkside Community College and Trumpington Community College, one primary, The Galfrid School. and a specialist 13-19 college, Cambridge Academy for Science and Technology, work closely together to realise their goal of being a leading learning partnership.

All staff working in the Partnership collaborate to ensure the schools bring out the best in everyone. We have a shared team of support staff, and the work of teaching departments is coordinated across the schools and all staff gather together for two conference days a year.

Students also benefit from an integrated curriculum which allows them to access specialist facilities across the schools, while our combined extra curricular offer promotes our commitment to education with character.

Our staff tell us that they think Cambridge Academic Partnership is a great community to work in and to develop their career - within the wider United Learning group we aim to offer you unrivalled professional development and the opportunity to work as part of a team where your contribution is really valued.

The successful candidate will support the Executive Headteacher, who leads Parkside alongside wider partnership responsibilities. We are looking for someone who enjoys visible leadership, who can quickly and effectively build strong relationships with students, families and staff alike.

The Deputy Headteacher will take a lead in meeting one of our strategic priorities: the focus of the exact responsibilities will be determined after appointment. The important factor is the ability to lead positive change and improvement in all that we do and to be ambitious for our students in every aspect of the role.
