Northstowe Secondary College was built in 2019 and is the cornerstone of the Northstowe Learning Community, an all-through school from 2024, catering for students aged 4-19. We are also lucky enough to have the Martin Bacon Academy, an area Special School, on our campus that also caters for children aged 4-19. Northstowe Secondary College opened to just 71 students but is now over-subscribed with students in Years 7-11.  In September 2024, Northstowe Primary School opened with its first intake of Reception aged children and our Sixth Form Provision welcomed its first young adults into Year 12. The secondary school has grown year on year, and it will continue to grow until it reaches its full capacity of 1,800 places for students aged 11-16, with a further 400 places available for sixth form students.

You will be part of an experienced and growing team of teaching and support staff working to create an inclusive, innovative and aspirational learning environment for the young people and families within the community we serve.
