We are looking for an outstanding classroom practitioner to lead this vibrant department on its own journey to Outstanding. The ability to teach French and Spanish is highly desirable. 

MFL is a dynamic and very popular option at GCSE and Advanced Level. Languages are studied by all students up to the end of Year 9, and then students may opt to study a language (or both) for GCSE.

The School is looking for a teacher with:

• Qualified Teacher Status with a creative flair
• A strong and innovative classroom practitioner
• The ability to inspire and challenge our students
• The ability to raise attainment of all students
• Post-16 experience would be an advantage.

Trinity High School strives for excellence for all and was judged as a Good school in all categories by Ofsted in October 2018, commenting that “the students are a real asset of the school”.

• Popular high school with 250 students in each year group (years 9 - 11) 
• Sixth Form of 220 
• A dynamic school which runs outreach CPD for other schools

An outstanding and thriving extra-curricular programme for all including Bronze, Silver and Gold DofE

Great connections and relationships with Pyramid Schools – including first and middle school children visiting Trinity for lessons in a variety of subjects and competing in sporting activities

A commitment to ‘Learning Outside the Classroom’ with trips to Barcelona, France, India, Auschwitz and CERN, skills days at local universities, arts trip to theatres, museums and cathedrals, and many other trips and events throughout the year

This is a very exciting time to join Trinity as we have established a multi academy trust with two of our partner schools.  Trinity is part of a successful three tier system and we hope that our MAT will further strengthen and enhance the opportunity for students and staff in all the partner schools.

We pride ourselves on high staff morale, collegiality and a positive can do attitude.  Informal enquiries are welcome.
