This is an opportunity for the successful candidate to have a real impact on the lives of our young people – you can make a real difference at our school. You should be passionate and knowledgeable and be able to communicate effectively in order to motivate others. Your key roles will be to help the Head of Department raise the standard of delivery across the dept and therefore help secure great GCSE results for our students.

About Us
It is a very exciting time to join Trumpington Community College and play a role in the transformational journey we are currently undergoing. Future growth of the school will offer excellent future career progression opportunities. The school is located on the south side of Cambridge. The school was built in 2015 and the main school building provides an outstanding environment for our community.
We are value-driven and our vision is to provide excellent education so that all young people are able to make a success of their lives. 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 believe in teaching through explicit/direct instruction (Rosenshine) and utilising Doug Lemov’s ‘Teach Like a Champion’ techniques. Our mission is to bring out ‘the best in everyone’. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs may be. 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. We are driven by ‘REACH’ values: Respect, Enthusiasm, Ambition, Confidence and Hardwork.
We value our staff highly and treat workload very seriously. Our systems are high leverage, ensuring that you can really focus on your core purpose – teaching or supporting teaching in a sustainable way, unhindered by bureaucracy or poor behaviour.
We reserve the right to bring forward the closing date if we consider that we have received an appropriate number of suitable candidates for the post.
We would suggest that you have a tour with Matt Oughton, our Principal, and see our school in action. If you would like to arrange a tour please email Katrina Amabile, Business Support Coordinator on katrina.amabile@trumpingtoncc.org.uk

“Trumpington Community College was built in 2015 on the south side of Cambridge, and the new school building provides a great environment for both working and learning. The school is growing and admitted 150 new pupils in Year 7 for the first time in September 2023. This growth will provide excellent future career progression opportunities.
Following the Ofsted inspection in November 2023, Trumpington Community College is now a ‘Good’ school. Excitingly, two areas of the school were judged to be ‘Outstanding’ – Quality of Education, and Leadership and Management.
“Pupils know that staff at the school have unashamedly high ambition for them. They appreciate the hard work teachers put into designing engaging and challenging lessons. Pupils respond by working hard.” “High-quality training supports teachers to deliver the curriculum’s aspirational aims.” “Staff are hugely proud to work in the school. They feel cared for, engaged with and valued.”
One parent comment, reflective of many, was: “The statistics show the school is clearly achieving exceptional academic things with all its students. But it is that it manages this in a joyful, safe and loving way that I find so deeply impressive. I love going there and so do my children.”
We are unashamedly ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. We believe that ‘Knowledge Is Power’ – our most important purpose is to teach young people things they would not learn outside school which empower them. 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 opportunities and prepared them for the ups and downs of life.
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.”
