About CAST

CAST is an inspiring, specialist science academy for young people aged 13‑19 years old. As part of United Learning we seek to bring out “the best in everyone”. We equip our students with the ‘powerful knowledge’ they need to make a success of their lives and the character to become resilient in overcoming obstacles; to responsibly manage themselves; to work independently on things which challenge them and to work with others.

The college offers GCSE, A-Level, T-level courses, along with unique opportunities to learn from working scientists, technologists and engineers. Students work in state‑of‑the‑art laboratories and facilities. Learning occurs in innovative and exciting ways, supported by CAST\’s unique partnerships with business. CAST therefore gives students a head start into their future careers. Consequently, student results are strong, and students achieved well above national averages in STEM subjects. We instil a workplace ethos, with a positive impact recognised by Ofsted who stated that “the excellent behaviour of students in lessons and around college creates an environment in which it is a joy to teach and study.” Staff feedback demonstrate to us that CAST is a great community to work in, with a supportive and collaborative culture that is highly valued. Staff have eight training and marking days built into the academic year. There are numerous internal and external development opportunities available to all staff.

United Learning Group

We are part of a cluster of schools within the United Learning group: The Galfrid School, Coleridge Community College, Trumpington Community College, Parkside Community College, and Cambridge Academy for Science and Technology. We embrace United Learning\’s aim to offer a life‑changing education to children and young people, and we work as a team to achieve more than any single school could. We share knowledge and resources within the cluster and the group to simplify work processes and manage workloads to achieve excellent results while improving work‑life balance. As a cluster and as a group, we can look after our staff better. There are many benefits to working as part of United Learning – we encourage staff to visit other academies, \”steal with pride\” and bring the best practice back to our own schools.
