To start January 2027

At Holy Trinity, the leadership team, staff and governors are completely focused on nurturing each individual in order that they reach their full potential. We are determined to raise standards for our pupils and to develop independent, aspiring and caring young people.

You will be joining the school at a time of innovation, development and rapid improvement, building on our strong foundation of care, commitment and challenge; in-house training opportunities provide quality CPD aimed at ensuring the very best practice for teaching and learning in-line with our Holy Trinity Standard and school development plans. Staff are also encouraged to identify their own training needs and develop as reflective practitioners; they are valued and supported to grow as professionals. Our students are challenged to be aspirational for themselves and are nurtured to develop a growth mindset. Strong relationships underpin our cohesive and forward-looking community. Staff and pupils are proud to be part of our school. Our recent Ofsted report acknowledges that we are an “inclusive and welcoming school”.

Holy Trinity is a 3 – 16 Catholic and Church of England through school which opened in September 2012 in a purpose-built, state of the art building. We have a 470 place primary phase and a 700 place secondary phase. Our 3 – 16 through-school status offers exciting and innovative learning opportunities which enhance progress and create a seamless transition between Key Stages 2 and 3.

Our Catholic and Church of England values form our distinctive Christian ethos, and this guides and supports everything we do in school.

We are seeking an enthusiastic Year 2 teacher on a fixed term basis to cover maternity leave; passionate about teaching and learning with the determination to drive our school forward; raising standards and creating outstanding life chances for our pupils. You will work within a supportive and ambitious team of primary staff. You will be responsible for delivering a range of lessons, covering the National Curriculum using existing schemes of work to support you in doing so. Ofsted state that “lessons are calm and pupils benefit from stable routines” and our new behavior policy supports this. Our pupils respond well to carefully planned lessons and to teachers who build positive relationships.

We welcome applications from candidates who are ready to work as part of a forward-thinking team with student learning at its centre. We welcome team players who are ready to contribute to the development of the excellent teaching and learning that we aim to deliver on a daily basis.

• Are you interested in working in an innovative and forward-thinking environment with professionals who are keen to move our school forward?
• Are you passionate about supporting the development of young people and good at building positive relationships?
• Are you a child-centred person who wants to harness the enthusiasm of young people and develop well-planned lessons to enable them to achieve their best?

In turn, we can offer:

• A supportive and caring school community where SLT are committed to ensuring staff wellbeing is protected and workload is sensible
• A school which is committed to continuous professional development and to supporting our pupils to make the best possible progress
• A bespoke, in-house CPD programme which allows staff to be reflective about their own practice and take ownership of their own development as well as the opportunity to work towards NPQs
• A purpose-built state of the art school building, ample parking, access to our school gym in the evenings and your own dedicated classroom

An enhanced DBS check is required for this post. The successful candidate will be required to complete a Disclosure & Barring Services form in line with Section 115 of The Police Act 1997.

You are warmly encouraged to visit the school.
