Leadership L28 - L34 (£91,633 - £106,138) 

Trinity Academy Grammar is an ambitious and inclusive 11-16 school in Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire.  The school is now consistently oversubscribed and at the start of the new academic year, will have over 1000 students on roll; having grown this number from 650 when we became part of the Trinity Multi-Academy Trust.  As our school grows so do we, and we are now seeking to appoint an exceptional Principal to be part of that growth and to strategically lead Trinity Academy Grammar.  

Since joining Trinity MAT in 2018 there have since been significant improvements in outcomes, meaning the academy can now be recognised as one of the most improved schools in the country.  Aspirations and ambitions are high; however, the school is determined not to rest on its laurels and is continually striving for ways to better serve the students.  The new Principal will be key to this future success.

Trinity MAT is a high performing and successful cross-phase Trust.  The Trust also collaborates extensively with schools across the country through the Trinity Institute of Education,  West Yorkshire Maths Hub and White Rose Maths initiatives.  Each of the Trusts’ secondary schools consistently achieve academic results which place them in the top 10% of schools nationally. Our ambitions are high but the support to the academy from the Trust match this.  You will be working closely with an Executive Principal who is an experienced school leader.  Alongside this you will have the full support of our world class central support team.  This includes dedicated IT, HR, Finance and Compliance teams who are at the end of the phone whenever the need arises.   

If you have a proven track record at a senior leadership level, with the vision to drive the strategic direction and development of the academy on its journey to outstanding, this role offers an outstanding opportunity to play a key role in the Trinity Academy Grammar story.  You must be fully committed to optimising the opportunities that are available to children and young people secure in the knowledge that you will be joining an ambitious forward-thinking Academy Trust.  The successful candidate must be passionate about improving students’ life chances through the provision of the highest quality of education and committed to achieving excellent results for the students.  You must have a strong work ethic, high expectations of yourself and others and have the ability to lead staff and students in realising those expectations.
