WELCOME TO of making outstanding progress and attaining at the highest level, whatever I look forward to welcoming you to TRUMPINGTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE their starting point. We do not make Trumpington Community College. 4 LEARNING IN OUR SCHOOL 5 Our most important purpose is to teach our young people things that they would not learn outside school. It frees them to think and act more powerfully in their lives. We want all students to be confident learners who enjoy lessons and experience success throughout their school career. In Years 7, 8 and 9 students follow a programme of study based on the National Curriculum. Mastery of language and fluency in mathematical skills are a priority. In Years 10 and 11 the vast majority of our students will study for the English Baccalaureate, taking the core subjects of English, Mathematics, Science, History or Geography and a Foreign Language. They may also take additional subjects, including Arts, Sports and vocational subjects, some of which may be based at the other schools within our Multi-Academy Trust to make the most of the excellent facilities on offer. Our learning day runs from 8am until 4.30pm and during that time a range of clubs and activities are offered, from Languages through to Music, Dance and Drama Clubs and the full range of sports teams. Learning outside the classroom is seen as vitally important and throughout their time at school students take part in a wide range of trips and visits. We could not have hoped “ for a better start: thank you. “ – Parent 6 SUPPORTING OUR STUDENTS 7 When students join our school they are placed into a tutor group. Here we get to know your child: they meet for registration at the start of each day and have personalised meetings throughout their time at school. If you have any concerns about how your child is getting on at school, then your child’s tutor is your first point of contact. We encourage you to contact us at any stage of the year. In each school there is a Student Services office where staff are available all day. Student Services will contact you if your child is away from school, as very good attendance is the key to doing well at school, and they are also available if a student has a concern during the day. The Pastoral Team Includes our Student Services colleagues, Tutors, Pastoral Leaders and Senior Leaders who are responsible for making sure your child is happy and successful at the school. Each student has a Chromebook and an online Google account where you will find homework and resources students have used in the lessons, guidance as to how you can help your child with their homework, and much more. Our Book Nook is available every day from 8am until the end of the learning day, and offers itself for quiet reading or as a study base. We keep you regularly informed about your child’s progress through our school’s online reporting system. You will be able to log into this at any time to see the progress your child is making. Information Evenings provide you with an insight into the school operation and ongoing developments. We also run Progress Consultation evenings where you can make an appointment to talk to any member of staff about your child. We believe that students are most successful when there is a strong, effective partnership between the school and home. 8 EQUALITIES Trumpington Community College is committed to providing the best possible opportunities for all students and staff. We support a policy of non-discrimination on the grounds of ability, age, class, disability, ethnic origin, or gender. Fairness is the principle underlying our schools’ policy and practice. All members of our school communities are valued equally. UNIFORM Uniform is an important aspect of equal opportunities at Trumpington Community College and ensures that our students feel part of a team. Students are expected to wear a grey jumper with logo and plain grey trousers/skirt purchased from our schoolwear provider SWI, along with a plain blue buttoned shirt and plain black shoes purchased from any supplier. This new uniform is compulsory for all year groups including year 11 from September 2020. Full details can be found on our website: http://trumpington.education/school-life/our- uniform/ 9 SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS All staff share responsibility for students’ educational needs. We have a highly effective Equality and Intervention Team which work with all subject departments to help every child make good progress. The individual needs of each student are identified when they join the school and assessed at regular intervals during their time with us. Appropriate support is then put into place. This can take the form of classroom support, individual tuition, small group work, lunchtime or after school clubs. We keep in close contact with families to make sure you are involved in decisions about your child. SAFEGUARDING Trumpington Community College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people in our care and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. 10 CREATIVE ARTS SPORT 11 The Arts and Performing Arts are very important in the life of our school, and we promote and encourage engagement in these subjects. There is a very wide range of opportunities available to students both in the curriculum and via extra- curricular activities. All students follow a core curriculum in Years 7–9, when they study arts and performing arts subjects in rotation. Across GCSE we offer courses in Art, Music, Drama and Dance. Outside lesson time there is a vibrant programme of activities that include Dance and Drama Clubs, Film Making, Arts Clubs, and Orchestras and Choirs. There are many opportunities for students to showcase their work. We are delighted to have achieved Artsmark Gold Award, a national scheme which recognises the high quality and range of Arts activities across our schools. Digital technologies are well supported in our school, led by the award-winning robotics club. Our school has a strong and successful sporting culture and we are proud of the wide range of sports we offer both during lessons and after school in our superb facilities. Physical Education is a compulsory subject in every year. In Key Stage 3 we focus on ensuring every student develops sports skills alongside a commitment to fitness and healthy living. In the GCSE years students may choose to take examination courses in Sport, or continue with a range of more general fitness activities. After school and at lunchtimes a wide range of clubs and activities are on offer, including team sports of Rugby, Football, Cricket and Netball as well as individual pursuits such as Table Tennis, Tennis, Athletics Fencing and Rowing. Competition is very important to us, whether it is within the school or with other schools in the Cambridge area or nationally. Students who excel at Sport are presented with Sporting Colours Half Blue or Full Blue Awards. The school year always finishes with our annual Sports Event where the Winners Cup is awarded to the team that has achieved sporting success. 12 PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT We believe at Trumpington Community College that character development is as important as academic development. We expect high levels of responsibility and encourage active contribution to the community. Our young people are expected to contribute to the school and to society. There are a number of areas of learning which we believe are essential in developing the whole person. These focus on cultural, social, spiritual and moral development and preparing students for their future in the world beyond school.

(The 2007 Act transferred powers to the principal councils which previously, under the Local Government Act 1997, had been shared with the Electoral Commission’s Boundary Committee for England.) 1.4 These Terms of Reference will set out clearly the matters on which the Community Governance Review is to focus. We will publish this document on our website and also in hard copy.

  • 23Rd March 2020 Dear Parent, Carers and Students, I Am Writing to Thank You for Your Support and Understanding Over the Past
    23rd March 2020 Dear Parent, Carers and Students, I am writing to thank you for your support and understanding over the past few weeks, especially in the latter part of last week, which was especially challenging given the uncertainty over the situation and the pace at which we had to put a myriad of arrangements into place. Friday, in particular was a day in which the entire school community pulled together. We were all very proud of how understanding and well-behaved the pupils were. Year 11 and Year 13 pupils in particular conducted themselves with maturity and dignity amidst what must be a very confusing and frustrating situation for them. Our priority over the coming weeks will be to try to maintain a sense of community and purpose in our new ‘online school’ for all pupils whilst ensuring that the any of our children and families who need support receive it. Year 11 and Year 13 must also ensure that they continue to build a portfolio of work in each GCSE / A Level subject that they are studying in order to provide evidence to support the claiming of grades, should this be required. Individual subject teachers will provide guidance as to what and how much is needed. Having spent the first weekend of ‘social distancing’ at home with my 3 children, I know how important it will be to keep them occupied and to find creative ways to tire them out over the coming weeks! In addition to the online learning resources that we will be providing within a ‘timetable’ of activities, there are a wide range of resources that can be drawn upon, including (but by no means limited to – there are 1000s more appearing daily): • Joe Wicks’ “P.E.

  • DEPUTY DIRECTOR - NORTH United Learning
    DEPUTY DIRECTOR - NORTH United Learning unitedlearning.org.uk WELCOME LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE Thank you very much for expressing interest in becoming a Deputy Director - North with United Learning. United Learning sets out to provide all children and young people with a broad and deep education which prepares them to succeed in life. We were founded 130 years ago to provide education for girls when it was in short supply, and the independent schools which started the Group remain an important part of it today. In the last 15 years, we have become one of the biggest academy groups in the country – still focusing on the original aims of the academy programme – turning around poor schools serving poor communities. As Deputy Director – North, you will have a central role in raising standards in our schools across the north. We are determined to raise attainment and ensure that children make exceptional progress. But we do not want this to be at the expense of a broad education, and are determined that all our schools offer a wide range of opportunities within and outside the classroom, developing character as well as intellect. So we are looking for a leader who shares our strong educational values, who has the highest expectations and who achieves great results but does so by putting children rather than performance indicators first. You will have a track record of success as a leader in secondary education, have the personal energy and confidence to raise standards working through other leaders and be effective in developing others and building teams.

    THE CAMBRIDGE COMMUNITY COLLECTION SOUTHERN CAMBRIDGE CONNECTIONS PROJECT PROPOSAL NEVILLE GABIE In December 2012 I was appointed to develop a proposal in response to a brief to look at routes and connectivity for the South Cambridge area. Given the number of large scale developments within the Southern Fringes of the city, the brief was specifically intended to consider and develop an artist’s project in response to; o Links between the new developments on Clay Farm and Glebe Farm with the existing communities of Trumpington, the city centre and outlying villages – Wayfinding o To consider routes between Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the proposed Biomedical development area with new and existing residential communities and the City. o To promote walking and cycling routes to Nine Wells Nature Reserve, Byron’s Pools, Grantchester Meadows, the new development on Trumpington Meadows and the Country Park. o To work with the City Council and all key stakeholders, including local community/ interest groups - and to link the work to other commissioned artists working in the Southern Fringe across all development sites. o To develop and implement the final project over a three – four year period. This framework document brings together my final proposal, outlining the evolution of the idea, the conceptual underpinning, a developed budget and timescale, established partnerships and those people with whom we wish to work. It is a project which is hugely ambitious and will require a very significant involvement with new and existing community groups,
