Job overview
Outstanding within outstanding
– are you ready for the challenge?
Trinity Academy is the outstanding flagship school in a new Multi-Academy Trust (MAT). Our vision is to inspire each and every student to achieve their potential through high-quality teaching, provided within an environment led by our Christian values.
We are a growing Multi-Academy Trust, our Executive Principal is a National Leader of Education and we are the lead school in the Trinity Teaching School Alliance and White Rose Maths Hub.
In July 2013 we were judged ‘outstanding’ in every category by Ofsted and we have continued to strive to be considered ‘outstanding within outstanding’. We gained MAT status in late 2015 and expect our Trust to expand in the near future.
All of these fantastic and exciting initiatives require the expertise and commitment of dedicated teaching staff and key to our continuing success is the quality of teaching, supported by a robust CPD package.
At Trinity Academy we understand and value the impact of an inspiring, imaginative and strong leader and we are looking to appoint a Curriculum Leader to lead the Humanities department. You will be expected to lead and manage the curriculum area by providing strategic direction as to what learning in the area will look like in the future; encouraging innovation and research and evaluating student performance, and leading on strategies that increase achievement.
You will be able to teach across all key stages and will be passionate about education, able to lead a team and be fully committed to optimising the transformation opportunities that we can offer. You will want to drive changes in teaching and learning, and be confident about the impact you can make as a leader, on student achievement and the academy’s reputation.
