About this Role

Long Road Sixth Form College is a dynamic, inclusive, state coeducational sixth form college of 2800 students located in Cambridge, offering a vibrant and supportive environment for learners aged 16-19. Situated next to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, the College provides a broad curriculum, offering A levels, Applied Level 3 and Level 2 Diplomas, and GCSE programmes within a vibrant learning environment. Set on a spacious 23-acre campus, the College promotes independence and wellbeing while fostering academic ambition. Students benefit from dedicated support, including approachable teaching staff and progress coaches, and regular teacher-led workshops designed to reinforce learning and boost confidence. Long Road is a thriving community committed to helping every student achieve their full potential.

Long Road was judged by OFSTED to be Good or Outstanding in all five categories at its most recent inspection in February 2025. The report highlights the college as a welcoming, inclusive, and high-achieving environment where students thrive.

All our staff share a passion for teaching and learning and are encouraged to support each other and to recognise each other's strengths. We are committed to enhancing the individual skills and knowledge of all our staff, to enable them to work positively with our students and our community partners.

You will be highly motivated and we will absolutely encourage you to develop innovative and supportive approaches to inspire our students to achieve their maximum potential. We value working as a team to collectively plan and resource but also focus on teacher agency within the classroom.

Within the College there is a genuine and shared commitment to on-going professional development, and we offer a supportive environment in which to further develop your career. If you are passionate about teaching and learning, share our enthusiasm for Physics and are seeking to develop your practice in a supportive and dynamic faculty, we would be delighted to hear from you.
