Join East Anglia’s “State Secondary School of the Year” 2024


This is a fantastic opportunity to join one of the UK’s leading comprehensive schools. Due to
the continued expansion of the College, including our outstanding sixth form, we are looking
to recruit a passionate and exceptional Teacher of Maths.


Part time candidates are very welcome, and well supported, as we were one of the original
eight schools in the UK to be a Flexible Working Ambassador School.
ECTs will be nurtured and developed with an exemplary support package. We would,
however, particularly welcome applications from teachers with at least two or three years’
experience who are looking for a new challenge and for the support and coaching needed to
prepare for middle and senior leadership roles.


For the right candidate we can offer:

  • A £3000 annual recruitment and retention allowance on top of your generous salary
  • A reduced teaching load for all staff (maximum 40 hours per fortnight, the equivalent
    of at least one free period every day)
  • One hour a week of subject CPD timetabled into the College day as part of your
    timetabled allocation, avoiding weekly twilight sessions
  • A minimum of one paid ‘family day’ per year to use as you choose, with the possibility
    of term time leave by negotiation, and the chance to work from home by agreement
  • £1000 bursary for personal CPD, including funding for a Masters qualification (or
    equivalent)
  • A genuine commitment to wellbeing, with a strong track record in supporting positive
    mental health and high levels of staff retention and promotion (twice awarded the
    Carnegie Gold Medal)
  • Subsidised access to our on-site Sports Centre and swimming pool, available for use
    throughout the day, as well as regular staff social events, discounted food and free
    coffee/tea


Impington Village College has achieved consistently excellent outcomes for the last seven
years. With a truly comprehensive intake, student progress is regularly in the top 5% of all
non-selective schools in the country. We are fiercely proud of our inclusive ethos, and in
championing an environment in which every student is welcomed and valued, and
accommodate nearly 100 students with EHCPs, including many with highly complex needs.
Student attainment is exceptionally high, with over 30% of all grades at Grade 8/9 and nearly
50% at 7-9 (or equivalent) in 2022 and 2023. We are also committed to the wider education
of our students, with a timetabled enrichment programme for all ages as a core part of our
curriculum, as well as over forty hours per week of clubs and activities. We run a fantastic
range of overseas trips as far afield as Peru, India, Japan and Botswana.

This post also offers the opportunity to teach at IB level for the right candidate, where Maths
is a core part of the Diploma Programme for all students, and where outcomes are well in
excess of the national and international averages. You will also be joining us at an incredibly
exciting time, as we embed the IB Middle Years Programme at Key Stage 3, as the first 11-
18 state school in the UK to offer three IB programmes.
