Trinity Academy Sowerby Bridge joined the Trinity Multi-Academy Trust in October 2018. Working closely with outstanding leaders from across the trust, the academy is characterised by its high aspirations and ambitions. Targeted and effective support systems have been implemented in order to create an environment where our students experience an outstanding education with no limit to what they can achieve.
GCSE results for 2018 were a validation of the work we had undertaken to transform the academy. These results mean the academy is now recognised as one of the most improved schools in the country. As a result, this is a truly exciting time for the academy. We are determined to build on our initial success, increasing student numbers and constantly striving to serve our students better.
All of our initiatives require the expertise and commitment of dedicated staff and Trinity Academy Sowerby Bridge now wishes to appoint a teaching assistant to support our students in achieving their goals.

• Class to support the classroom teacher
• Small groups working on speech and language interventions
• Small groups working on their social skills
• Ensuring students are ready for the next phase of their education by, for example, accompanying them on visits to a post-16 provision
This position may also be of interest to people who are interested in teaching. As part of the Trinity Multi-Academy Trust we have close links the Trinity Teaching School, which provides numerous routes into the profession.
What can we offer you?
• An opportunity to help shape the transformation of Trinity Academy Sowerby Bridge
• Full support from a dedicated team of senior leaders and a large pastoral team
• Career progression and cross-trust working
• A range of staff benefits, including a Cycle to Work scheme, reduced-cost health cover and childcare support

The Trinity MAT were first approached to work with the then Sowerby Bridge High School, when it had been graded as inadequate by Ofsted and had been ranked in the bottom 15% of all schools nationally.
After joining the MAT in 2018 the progress made has been outstanding. The academy has improved its Progress 8 outcome by 0.92 and the performance puts us comfortably in the top 1% of most improved schools in the country.
In September 2021 we will be adopting the new name of Trinity Academy Grammar to better communicate our identity, high standards and aspirations for our students. We have chosen a name which truly reflects our grammar school heritage, and to better showcase our core values of Empathy, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility, as we continue to build on this legacy through our outstanding achievements and passion to help our students reach their full potential.
It is a very exciting time to be considering joining Trinity Academy Grammar. We can offer candidates the opportunity to work in partnership with the Principal and the senior leadership team, teachers in the school and other professionals across the trust (including the Teaching School and West Yorkshire Maths Hub).
