About Us

Amplify Education is a dynamic new multi-academy trust of 21 schools across Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset, formed through the thoughtful and planned merger of TiLA and CST. United by a shared vision, we are a bold voice for Bristol - committed to building belief in every young person, expanding opportunities, nurturing potential, and strengthening citizenship.

We are ambitious, reflective, and collaborative - driven to improve outcomes for young people while working together, learning from one another and continually strengthening our practice. If you are looking to make a real difference within a forward-thinking and supportive Trust, Amplify Education could be the place for you.

We are set in a spacious, green site in the heart of our local community with easy access to the city centre, offering a range of enrichment opportunities to support our broad curriculum.

This role is based at the Junior School, but we benefit from being a campus with separate Infant and Junior Schools, allowing staff to develop phase specialisms, with opportunities for working across the whole Primary age-range. To enable you to reach your full potential, a wide range of continuing professional leadership development opportunities will be available to you in addition to the regular, planned collaboration with colleagues within our Trust family.

As part of our dedicated, forward thinking team, you’ll play a vital role in guiding children through their early education, supporting curiosity, confidence, and developing a love of learning.

Positive relationships are central to our ethos, so we encourage you to visit us to find out more.
