Homerton College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Cambridge. Until 2001 it only admitted Education students. Since that time it has broadened its intake, although it remains unusual among the Cambridge colleges in its emphasis on Education. It has more students than any other Cambridge college, partly due to the large number of PGCE students in the college. This is more than Trinity, which is traditionally known as the largest.
In 1695 the Congregational Fund was set up in London to provide for the education of Calvinist ministers, and to provide an alternative to the wholly Anglican education offered by the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Around 35 dissenting academies arose during the 18th century, offering education without the requirement of conformity to the Church of England. They promoted a more modern curriculum of science, philosophy and modern history than the ancient universities who took a more traditionalist approach to learning.
