Trinity Academy is a highly oversubscribed free school that opened in 2019. We are a values based community that: 

• focuses on the learning of all students and staff (our ‘Head’)
• cares deeply for our young people and one another (our ‘Heart’)
• is committed to co-curricular enrichment (our ‘Soul’).

Our stated goal is to be a +1 school for progress and as such, we are looking for a highly motivated, professional and well qualified leader and expert teacher to join us in realising our mission.

This is a unique and exciting opportunity to join a leadership team that is establishing a new school as we enter our fourth year.  ‘Soul’ at Trinity includes an outstanding co-curricular programme (we currently run 60 after school clubs) and incorporates a ‘Purpose’ agenda which includes careers information, education, advice and guidance.  It is also strongly  connected to the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all in our community.  What does a world class school look like for ‘Soul’?  Could you help lead us there?

We are committed to your professional development, as both a teacher and leader. As a growing school there is considerable opportunity for career development both within the Academy and across the Cathedral Schools Trust.
