The posting
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. Ofsted state that “lessons are calm and pupil benefit from stable routines” and our new behaviour policy supports this. Our pupils respond well to carefully planned lessons and to teachers who build positive relationships.
