This is an exciting opportunity for an exceptional teacher to use their abilities and knowledge to work alongside the Director of Learning for English in the development of our new secondary school. We moved to our new permanent site in the Chesterwell development in Summer 2023. The post will combine the opportunity to be part of an exciting and dynamic new school with the benefits of being part of the Alpha Trust, a supportive and high-performing MAT.
The successful candidate will work with the Senior Leadership Team to establish a school in which all students thrive. We are committed to excellence in all that we do and are unashamedly ambitious for the future success of our students.
The English Department at Trinity is a small, supportive and experienced team. We are passionate about the exciting and diverse curriculum we teach, using thought-provoking texts from different English-speaking cultures, so students can:
1. explore a range of perspectives through literature;
2. confidently analyse the texts they encounter; and
3. articulate their world views and experiences in their own writing.
As a school, we recognise the transformative impact of reading on children’s quality of life and the English team plays a central role in supporting other departments to sustain high-quality literacy pedagogy. English teachers at Trinity help students make excellent progress through our efficient and impactful feedback policies. We offer a wide range of super curricular opportunities within the department, contributing to students’ enjoyment of the subject.
We are seeking to appoint an outstanding Teacher of English, who will:
1. be unashamedly ambitious for the future success of every child;
2. place the highest priority on outstanding teaching and learning;
3. model excellence and demonstrate a clear commitment to the school and its community;
4. have the vision and ability to help develop outstanding teaching and learning; and
5. be a passionate advocate for our school community.
The English Department also teaches Drama at Key Stage 3, integrated within the English curriculum. For the right candidate, there is also the opportunity to teach Drama at Key Stage 4.
If you are looking for an exciting, challenging and rewarding role within a supportive trust and have an unshakeable commitment to improving the lives of children, we look forward to receiving your application.
Appointment of the right candidate is also offered with priority admission for your child (subject to other criteria being met).
