About this Role

Milton Road Primary School is a two-form entry primary school located to the north of the centre of the beautiful university city of Cambridge. We are a local authority-maintained school.

Our school moved to its current location in 2006. The spacious site sits at the end of a residential street and benefits from separate playgrounds for each of Early Years, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. There is a large playing field adjoining the Key Stage 2 playground as well as a wooded Forest School area. Each of the classrooms benefits from a seating “pod” outside, with children engaging with outdoor learning opportunities when the weather permits.

We have strong links with other primary schools within our cluster area. We are a partner school with the highly regarded Chesterton Community College secondary school.

Safeguarding and welfare are extremely important and pupils are taught the virtues of kindness, respect, and recognising the needs of others via our “no outsiders” programme. We foster open and honest communication with parents and carers and actively seek to engage with all members of the school community in a positive and supportive manner.

We expect the new Head Teacher to evolve and develop their own priorities over time with the support of the governing body. The governing body is particularly interested in the potential impacts of AI and new technologies on education and will be interested in how applicants expect the use of these tools to impact education over the medium-term.

Applicants will be advised whether they have been shortlisted by 20th May 2026. The selection process will consist of a range of panel discussions, tasks and presentations. Shortlisted candidates will receive further details to support preparation. The provisional date for the interview process is the week of 1st June 2026. This will be confirmed after shortlisting.
