What the school offers its staff

It is a real pleasure to introduce you to Holy Trinity Church of England Academy. We are a strong single academy trust situated in the Wiltshire town of Calne. Holy Trinity is a single form entry school -we have 210 children on roll currently.

Holy Trinity was built in 1866 and celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2016. It is a privilege to lead a school with such a rich history. Staff are very supportive of one another and work hard to maintain our children's superb attitudes to learning. Holy Trinity is a family in which everyone is nurtured.

This is a permanent post. Although we have not specified a year group or a Key Stage, we are preferably looking for an EYFS teacher or someone who has an aspiration to be a great reception teacher. This shouldn't prevent any KS2 candidates from applying as we are simply looking for the best teacher for our children.

As a single academy trust, Holy Trinity is forward-thinking and outward-looking. We are driven to do the very best for the children in our care. We want all of our children to leave Holy Trinity in Year 6 with a strong moral compass, God-given Christian values and a love of learning.

The class teacher role offers a fantastic opportunity for the right candidate to develop their skills and contribute to the full life of the school.

We take staff wellbeing seriously, within the busy life of a primary school. This includes a report writing day for school reports and additional time given to support subject leadership when required. There are many opportunities for continuing professional development.

Commitment to safeguarding

Holy Trinity Church of England Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All applicants will be subject to a full Disclosure And Barring Service check before appointment is confirmed.
