We are seeking to appoint a motivated and inspirational Teacher of Business to join our well-resourced and growing department from September 2025 or earlier.

We welcome applications from ECTs or more experienced staff. If successful, ECT’s will have the opportunity to join Cambourne after completing their QTS, prior to September 2025.

Our ethos is aspirational and inclusive, our staff is highly motivated, our pupils courteous and hard-working, and we have excellent facilities. A 350 place sixth form will be opening in September 2024, with 175 students in each of Years 12 and 13.

BROAD EDUCATION

The school’s formal day runs from 8.35am to 3.00pm with 6 timetabled lessons of 50 minutes per day, run over a two-week cycle. Details of the curriculum taught in each subject can be found on our website under the Parent, Carer and Student Information tab. However, we believe that education should be broad and should give opportunities to develop individual interests. Many members of staff also offer activities within a very full and wide-ranging extra-curricular programme that runs each day from 3.00 p.m. There are many school trips and visits, both national and international, supported by a central Trips Administrator.
The College has engaged in a rolling programme to equip all pupil with iPads to enhance their learning, with all pupils in Years 7-11 having their own device from September 2021. Teaching staff and teaching assistants all have their own iPad; teachers also have laptop computers and all classrooms are equipped with Apple TV. Extensive training and support for development of staff IT skills has been a feature of school life since our opening, and has received a tremendous boost during the recent lockdowns!
