Job overview
A unique opportunity has arisen to work as Deputy Head (pastoral) in a Christian setting. Trinity School was established in 2013 by a group of local Christian leaders and parents and today, 780 students occupy a state of the art building. Demand for places is extremely high and a building programme has begun to accommodate increasing student numbers.
Trinity school has a broad and holistic approach to education embodied in our strapline ‘Education for Life in all its Fullness’. Our Christian ethos pervades everything and is central to who we are and what we do. A calm and friendly culture exists and the partnership with parents and other stakeholders is strong.
The Pastoral Deputy Head will play an integral role in building upon recent successes. Trinity School achieved a respectable first set of GCSE results last summer, which we expect to better this year, an ‘Outstanding’ Section 48 inspection and a solid ‘Good’ Ofsted rating. The Sixth Form started in September 2018 attracting an exceptional group of students.
We are looking for a person who has a proven and impressive track-record for high standards, who has the drive and energy to get things done and continually seeks to improve the educational experience of students. You will be a strong teacher and be able to show how you have supported other teachers as well as demonstrate an excellent record of exam results.
The Pastoral Deputy Head will be uncompromising in his/her pursuit of excellence and be able to challenge and inspire others to do likewise. The role does not require the person to be a practising Christian but it will be expected that they will support the Christian ethos of the school fully. Naturally, integrity and other personal qualities that align themselves with Christian principles will be expected.
You will be someone who currently holds a senior leadership position and has a good understanding of the changing educational landscape and areas that pertain to the pastoral care of young people.
The right person will be given the autonomy and trust to help take Trinity School to the next level in its journey. You will also benefit from working with a committed team of staff and incredible students. The Deputy Head (Pastoral) will also work closely with the Deputy Head (Academic).
You are most welcome to visit Trinity School.

Trinity is a growing, non-denominational Christian free school based in Sevenoaks, Kent. We are a single Academy Trust which operates under the sponsorship of 29 local churches in the Sevenoaks area. Trinity was founded in 2013 by a committed group of local people, many of whom are governors of the school. We are a 11-18, non-selective, mixed school and we attract many pupils who reach the standard to pass the 11 Plus. Half the intake have a faith reference. The sixth form was established in September 2018 and will grow to 240 students.
We moved into our brand new, state-of-the-art building in September 2016. We originally opened as a four-form entry school and have now become a six-form entry due to demand for places in the local area.
Parents, staff and students describe the school as a truly special place to work, teach and learn. The culture is supportive, challenging and every member of the Trinity team has high standards and expectations and strives for excellence in every aspect of school life. Our vision and values permeate everything we do and this is demonstrated by our well-behaved students right through to our flourishing co-curricular programme. High quality teaching, coupled with outstanding pastoral care, ensures that our students have every opportunity to fulfil their potential.
Teachers are well supported and developed through our CPD programme. Our new, state-of-the art building has excellent, spacious facilities, well-resourced classrooms, designated staff work rooms and ample on-site staff parking.
Trinity Values
As a Christian school, we promote ‘the Trinity Way’ in all we do: Truth, Excellence, Love, Leadership and Service. We believe that in doing so, students are well-placed to grow into confident, outward focused individuals who live rewarding and purposeful lives. We hold unswervingly to a belief that every Trinity student should receive an ‘education for life in all its fullness’.
