At Holy Trinity Lamorbey our mission is to transform lives and build futures. We aim to deliver this through our 3 Christian virtues of Love, Courage and Wisdom. For every pupil we aim to deliver 3 outcomes. Outstanding outcomes for all, a curriculum for the future and active citizenship. Imagine a school where, for example, pupils design low cost farming tools for underprivileged communities across the globe. Where they print out those tools on a 3D printer and sell them ethically and at a fair price on websites they have designed themselves. This is the future we envision for the children of HTL and although we are just at the beginning of that journey, we need a team of passionate, visionary and high skilled teachers ready to take on the challenge of building this for our children. Holy Trinity Lamorbey is a warm, welcoming and thriving, 2 form entry Church of England Primary School which is part of the Amadeus Primary Academies Trust, an exciting and collaboration focused multi-academy trust of 6 local schools. Under the leadership of a dynamic and inspirational head teacher with a track record of school improvement, we are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, highly motivated and innovative class teacher committed the educational success of all their pupils.
