STAFF
Trinity School is able to attract and retain a staff of very high quality as a result of the fine reputation of the school and of the professional opportunities it can offer. Most teachers are graduates in their teaching subjects, some with wide experience including teaching abroad, and all have a real commitment to their work. All of our staff are involved in continuing professional development to enrich their professional knowledge and to ensure best practice in improving student learning. Additionally, many are active in the local community, whether as preachers or councillors, or in sport, the Church and fund-raising for charities. Our PE staff are active participants in sport themselves, and our musicians have considerable reputations locally.
Many staff bring wide experience to bear in their work, having come from a background of industry, commerce or the arts. It is worth noting that many staff are themselves parents of children attending Trinity. As well as our teaching staff, we have a team of knowledgeable and experienced support staff, fulfilling an increasing variety of roles, including House Tutors, Curriculum Support and Cover Supervisors.
All staff are represented on ‘Team Trinity’, a group which works hard to improve the working environment and organise social events.
If you would be interested in bringing your experience and skills to work for the school community, please watch out for advertisements on our Job Vacancies Page and in the local press.

Student Testing Information
Dear Parent/Carer
It has been confirmed that any student who has tested positive in the last 90 days should not have their LFD test at school at the start of term. Instead, they should resume their twice weekly tests at home as soon as they can. If you had given permission and your child was coming to school for the test there is now no need to come. You do not need to let us know in advance. Students in Year 7 and 12 should attend for photographs and biometrics as stated in the letter sent last week even if they are not having the test. Students who are coming for a test should bring a face covering to wear in the test centre.
Many thanks.
