Head of DT job summary
Trumpington Community College is now recruiting for a Head of Design and Technology for a September 2023 start. We offer a full range of Key Stage 3 and GCSE courses for our students.
You will be leading a department who are ambitious about achieving the very best results for our students. We believe that 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 Engelmann) and utilising TLAC 2.0 techniques.
We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. Our mission, therefore, is to bring out ‘the best in everyone’. 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.
Trumpington Community College forms part of the Cambridge Cluster within United Learning; five schools who work collaboratively to further support our students through the quality of teaching and learning. We work as a team and achieve more, by sharing, than any single school could.
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
