Caedmon College Whitby is an 11-19 community college which has a wide and varied curriculum at Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 and Post-16, also offering courses for adult learners.

We collaborate with many local providers to give the best education we possibly can for our young people. We have, in September 2014, enlarged the College through an amalgamation with Caedmon School in Whitby. The College also works in close partnership with a range of other organisations. In particular, we are partners with Yorkshire Coast College, Malton Hair Academy, Redcar and

Cleveland College and the Adult Education Service, which offers a wide range of provision for adults and young people. The College is also a member of two Teaching School Alliances; Wakefield City Academy/Leeds Metropolitan University and the Esk Valley partnership.

The College strives for continuous improvement, aiming to bring leading edge teaching and learning to one of the most beautiful and historic places in the country.

Our mission: ‘To be the best we can be’

Our aims: to enable our students to develop a real passion for 21st Century learning and work, through engaging teaching and learning in a safe environment. We will facilitate learning which our students and community value and which brings out the best in them. We will motivate students to succeed both now and in the future, allowing them to achieve their best. To do this, we will offer the best possible opportunities for personal development and optimism for adult life.

This is what we believe in: Excellence, Friendship, Respect

All members of the College community have a duty to develop themselves, and encourage in others in the wider community the positive strengths and values society shares.

Leadership at Caedmon College will:

• Develop, with stakeholders, a clear vision and common purpose that inspires confidence, motivation and ultimately success for all.
• Be enthusiastic, optimistic, ambitious and realistic: working with humility and stewardship
• Ensure joint ownership and responsibility for driving the College towards outstanding/excellence where the talents of all are respected and valued
• Be visible and pro-active with shared commitment and harmony
• Be built on trust, effective communication and support

The College had a full Ofsted inspection in February 2017 and yet again we were  judged to be good in all areas. We have much to be proud of in the College: wonderful young people with huge potential; a very hardworking and friendly staff and a team of people committed to bringing about rapid improvement through best practice in teaching and learning.

Are you the special sort of person who can see the tremendous potential of our students, and join the team seeking to make a real difference?
