About Trumpington Community College
Our mission is to bring out ‘the best in everyone’. 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 3.0 techniques. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs.
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 believe that our school will provide an excellent education for all students. We are looking for people that share this belief and passionately believe in doing what it takes to ensure that all children can achieve.
We have ambitious plans for the future of Trumpington Community College and creating an academic ethos is at the centre of this. We believe that our children deserve only the best quality staff and so we recruit carefully and invest in training to ensure continuous improvement and an excellent quality of education.
Additional Information
We are working hard to become a more diverse organisation – which is key to our commitment to bringing out the best in everyone. We welcome applications from everyone committed to this ethos and would particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates, who are currently under-represented in the Group as a whole. We always appoint on merit. We are open to discussing flexible working options.
We reserve the right to invite strong candidates to interview in advance of the closing date, so encourage early applicants.
