About the English Department

The English department at Trinity School are an enthusiastic, supportive team, who enjoy coming to work. We love Literature: reading it, talking about it, writing it - and we seek to impart this love to our students.

There are currently six classes in each year group at Key Stages 3 and 4; we prepare students to take AQA GCSE Literature and Language for years 10 and 11, and at key stage three we are crafting a broad, balanced, and interesting curriculum for building those key skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening. In recent years, we have worked hard to create shared schemes of learning that get the best out of our students, and enable each of us to contribute to the progress of our learners, and of the department over time. We blend our Literature and Language curriculum, using homework to good effect, and keeping lessons engaging. We also have an A-Level English Literature and an A-Level Film Studies course, both of which are popular amongst students. At key stage 5, learners have nine hours of contact time per fortnight, spent with two class teachers. Some interesting filmic and Literary texts are covered, and students are motivated and engaging.

About You

You will be committed to the development and progress of students, able to facilitate and encourage a learning experience which provides students with the opportunity to achieve their individual potential and you will be the sort of person who enjoys a collaborative team working style, relishes a challenge and is resilient.  We are open to applications from experienced teachers and ECTs.  It is an advantage to be able to teach to A level and Film Studies.

About the Computer Science Department

The Computer Science department at Trinity School is a vibrant and innovative team, dedicated to advancing the knowledge and skills of our students in digital technologies. We aim to strengthen our existing talented team. We possess a clear curriculum vision for Computer Science and are in search of a dedicated and skilled professional to bring this vision to life in the classroom.

In Key Stages 3, all students engage with Computer Science once a week, fostering early interest and foundational skills in this crucial field.  We introduce students early to programming through user-friendly platforms like Scratch and Python, which serve as building blocks for more advanced studies.

At Key Stage 4, students can choose between two pathways: a Computer Science GCSE with OCR as the exam board, or a Vocational ICT course under the WJEC exam board.  Each year group at this stage has approximately 5 lessons per fortnight.  The early introduction to programming prepares students effectively for the rigors of the GCSE curriculum, providing them with a solid foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of computing and information technologies.

For Key Stage 5, our offerings are currently vocational with a plan to expand into A-level courses in the near future.  We offer the Cambridge Technicals Level 3 in ICT, which comprises five units completed over two years with OCR as the exam board.  This course is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of ICT, preparing students for further education and diverse career opportunities in the tech industry.

Our department is progressive, utilizing the latest technology to enhance teaching and learning experiences.  We employ interactive boards, enabling dynamic classroom interactions and flexible, precise teaching methods suited to the complex nature of computer science.

We are looking for a passionate, innovative, and collaborative individual to join our forward-thinking team and help us continue to develop a cutting-edge Computer Science curriculum that meets the needs and aspirations of our students

About You

You will be committed to the development and progress of students, able to facilitate and encourage a learning experience which provides students with the opportunity to achieve their individual potential and you will be the sort of person who enjoys a collaborative team working style, relishes a challenge and is resilient.  We are open to applications from experienced teachers and ECTs.

You will be committed to the development and progress of students, able to facilitate and encourage a learning experience which provides students with the opportunity to achieve their individual potential and you will be the sort of person who enjoys a collaborative team working style, relishes a challenge and is resilient.  We are open to applications from experienced teachers and ECTs.

How to apply

We are a Christian school and are very keen to uphold this important and foundational element at Trinity.  You do not have to be a Christian to join us but be sympathetic to our Christian values.

We highly recommend you come and visit us to experience what others so readily affirm that Trinity is truly a unique place, with a calm and caring atmosphere.

We are recruiting as applicants apply therefore an appointment may be made before the close date.

Our school and all its personnel are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of students.  The successful applicant will be subject to a full Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosure and checks regarding proof of ID, medical clearance, satisfactory references, social media checks and the right to work in the UK.

If you would like any further information, arrange a visit or an informal discussion please contact Fiona Smith, HR Manager on 01732 469111 or email hr@trinitysevenoaks.com
