Y1 Primary Teacher– ECT / MPS / UPS

To start January 2025

Permanent Contract

At Holy Trinity, the leadership team, staff and governors are completely focused on nurturing each individual in order that they reach their full potential. We are determined to raise standards for our pupils and to develop independent, aspiring and caring young people.

You will be joining the school at a time of innovation, development and rapid improvement, building on our strong foundation of care, commitment and challenge; in-house training opportunities provide quality CPD aimed at ensuring the very best practice for teaching and learning in-line with our Holy Trinity Standard and school development plans. Staff are also encouraged to identify their own training needs and develop as reflective practitioners; they are valued and supported to grow as professionals. Our students are challenged to be aspirational for themselves and are nurtured to develop a growth mindset. Strong relationships underpin our cohesive and forward-looking community. Staff and pupils are proud to be part of our school. Our recent Ofsted report acknowledges that we are an “inclusive and welcoming school”.

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.

We are seeking an enthusiastic teacher; passionate about teaching and learning with the determination to drive our school forward; raising standards and creating outstanding life chances for our pupils. You will work within a supportive and ambitious team of primary staff, teaching alongside one other Y1 teacher in our two form entry primary phase. You will be responsible for delivering a range of lessons, covering the National Curriculum using existing schemes of work to support you in doing so. Ofsted state that “lessons are calm and pupils benefit from stable routines” and our new behavior policy supports this. Our pupils respond well to carefully planned lessons and to teachers who build positive relationships.

We welcome applications from candidates who are ready to work as part of a forward-thinking team with student learning at its centre. We welcome team players who are ready to contribute to the development of the excellent teaching and learning that we aim to deliver on a daily basis.

• Are you passionate about supporting the development of young people and good at building positive relationships?
• Are you a child-centred person who wants to harness the enthusiasm of young people and develop well-planned lessons to enable them to achieve their best?

• A supportive and caring school community where SLT are committed to ensuring staff wellbeing is protected and workload is sensible

• A bespoke, in-house CPD programme which allows staff to be reflective about their own practice and take ownership of their own development as well as the opportunity to work towards NPQs
