Sawston Village College
Thank you very much for your interest in a position at Sawston Village College. We sincerely hope that the information below and enclosed within this pack will encourage you to apply to our friendly and vibrant school.
We are a very welcoming and highly successful school, one in which all staff are valued, and all contribute to our strong caring ethos. The College is named the State 11-16 Secondary School of the Year in The Sunday Times Parent Power list (The Sunday Times, 8 December 2024). Pupils are at the centre of all that we do but we can only succeed when all professionals work together, collaboratively and supportively, to ensure a positive, safe and calm learning environment in which all pupils can thrive. We ensure our staff have the resources, development and opportunities to fulfil their roles and responsibilities. Staff wellbeing is vital to our success, and we consider workload and the working environment very carefully.
We want staff to feel happy, secure and enjoy their work.

Many members of the local community visit each week to participate in learning, sporting or leisure activities. We are proud to be a member of Anglian Learning, a family of like-minded schools serving over 8000 pupils from ages 3-19 in this region.
Our focus is the achievement and wellbeing of our 1180 pupils within a school culture based on community, ambition, respect and endeavour. In 2024, the College achieved above national averages at all levels including 73% gaining grade 5+ in English and Maths, 47% at grade 7 or above across all subjects and a very positive P8 score. Pupils secure their preferred post-16 pathway having achieved grades significantly well above average. Academic success, of course, is only one measure and, as an Artsmark Platinum accredited school, we are equally proud of our extensive extra-curricular offer as well as our aim to help all pupils leave with confidence, enriched experiences and hope for the future. Our code of conduct demands that our pupils also understand and appreciate the need for kindness, humility, politeness and good grace.
This success is based upon the following key principles. Firstly, a firm commitment to the belief that all pupils, regardless of ability or background, are able to achieve their potential and have the best opportunities to succeed in education, employment and life. Secondly, a determination to recruit, develop and retain the very best staff, by providing varied and exciting personalised opportunities for professional development, and a caring, supportive environment with an emphasis on teamwork, collaboration and staff well-being. Thirdly, a firm conviction that teaching and learning can only flourish where pupils are well behaved and respectful. Therefore, we have very high expectations and set exacting standards enabling staff and pupils to feel safe and happy. We provide outstanding pastoral care of our young people. Each pupil is a member of a vertical tutor group and a House. Non-teaching pastoral leads work very closely with our inclusion team, safeguarding team and SLT, to ensure that all pupils are known, valued, cared for and encouraged to do and be the best they can. We pride ourselves on the professionalism of our staff and our commitment to ethical leadership; as role models for the young, how we behave as leaders is as important as what we do.
Sawston Village College, as noted by our recent Ofsted report in May 2023, is a highly professional and exceptionally friendly, caring and enjoyable place in which to work and teach. Our staff surveys are highly positive and reflect the care and attention we pay to looking after staff and making the College the success it is for staff and pupils alike. During these turbulent times, we are keen to recruit people with resilience, adaptability and optimism for a better future. Above all, we are looking for staff who take pride in their work, enjoy the company of children and can harness the power of education to transform lives and inspire our future generation.
Thank you, in anticipation, for the time you will give to your application.
