This opportunity comes at an exciting time as we work with our first Key Stage 4 cohort, preparing them for success in their GCSEs. This post would suit an ECT, or a more experienced teacher looking for a new challenge. As a new and expanding school, there may be career development opportunities in coming years. The Mathematics Faculty at Trinity is a supportive and collaborative team. The faculty is research informed and outward looking, with involvement in a wide range of local and national subject networks to enhance professional development. As a new school, we have a wide range of modern equipment and facilities to support learning, including effective online platforms. Our co‑curricular offer is vast and inclusive, with students taking part in maths clubs, events and competitions. We are seeking to appoint an outstanding Teacher of Mathematics, who will:

• Be unashamedly ambitious for the future success of every child
• Place the highest priority on outstanding teaching and learning
• Model excellence and demonstrate a clear commitment to the school and its community
• Have the vision and ability to help develop outstanding teaching and learning
• Be a passionate advocate for our school community
