Job overview
Character-First: Our unique ethos demands a unique leader.
In September 2005, Trinity Academy replaced Thorne Grammar School in its 75th year, with new purpose-built premises on the same site. Nearly 13 years on, we are going from strength to strength at the heart of the Emmanuel Schools Foundation, and pride ourselves on offering an excellent education with a Christian ethos. With a particular emphasis on business, ICT and enterprise, we have a large and expanding sixth form and a unique inclusion policy. Your inspiring leadership will take us to the next level.
Leading and managing the Academy as a ‘Character-First’ school with a non-denominational approach, as Principal you will build on our high standards of behaviour, appearance and attitude. In particular, we will look to you to move us from Requires Improvement to Good at our next Ofsted inspection and to raise ambition and attainment for every one of our 1,300 students. At the same time, you will coach and mentor your team so they too can achieve their full potential, and will be an exemplar of best practice and imaginative thinking.
A committed Christian with an inclusive mindset, you should be a high-achieving graduate and qualified teacher with substantial secondary leadership experience. This will have given you deep understanding of effective teaching and learning strategies, proven ability to lead staff development, and real passion for improving lives and outcomes. Whether you already have experience as a Head Teacher/Principal or are currently a Deputy Head seeking an exciting role for your first Headship; above all, you will be ready to take your next step – and are poised to bring your vision to life.

About Trinity Academy
Trinity Academy opened in September 2005 in a brand new £24m state-of-the-art building, which has since been extended to meet the demand for a vibrant sixth form. Trinity is a distinctive school: we believe that children are created in the image of God, infinitely (and intrinsically) precious, uniquely gifted, and morally responsible. We therefore dream big dreams for our students: they are the leaders of the future. Our task is to prepare them to exercise that leadership by raising aspiration, shaping character and stimulating minds.
At the heart of our school improvement journey is a conviction within the staff team that together we can make a difference. Expectations are therefore made clear to students and their parents, and teachers employ consistent routines to maintain high standards. Teachers are subject experts, and we encourage a straightforward evidence-based pedagogy that sets teachers free to express their own individual style in the classroom. We place a premium on high quality, bespoke continuing professional development and develop strong relationships between staff and students which are based upon mutual respect.
We seek colleagues for whom teaching is a vocation rather than a career, who set the highest standards for children regardless of starting point, and who believe in the transformative power of education.
Part of Emmanuel Schools Foundation, Trinity Academy has sister schools in Blyth, Gateshead, Middlesbrough and Sunderland.
