Job description

Overview

The Trinity School is a new, mixed 11‑16 comprehensive free school but will grow in time to its full capacity of 900 students across all year groups. It is heavily oversubscribed, due in part to its location as part of the Chesterwell development in the rapidly expanding north of Colchester but also due to its growing reputation for creating an ethos of high aspirations for all students. In September 2023, the school moved onto its new, purpose built, multi‑million pound site. The school has state of the art facilities, with well resourced specialist rooms split across 3 floors, excellent sports facilities and extensive playing fields. This is a truly exciting time to join the school, as it occupies its new buildings and opportunities for both staff and students unfold over the coming years.
