Trinity Academy opened in September 2005 in a brand new £24m state-of-the-art building, which has since been extended to meet the demand for a vibrant sixth form. Trinity is a distinctive school: we believe that children are created in the image of God, infinitely (and intrinsically) precious, uniquely gifted, and morally responsible. We therefore dream big dreams for our students: they are the leaders of the future. Our task is to prepare them to exercise that leadership by raising aspiration, shaping character and stimulating minds.
At the heart of our school improvement journey is a conviction within the staff team that together we can make a difference. Expectations are therefore made clear to students and their parents, and teachers employ consistent routines to maintain high standards. Teachers are subject experts, and we encourage a straightforward evidence-based pedagogy that sets teachers free to express their own individual style in the classroom. We place a premium on high quality, bespoke continuing professional development and develop strong relationships between staff and students which are based upon mutual respect.
We seek colleagues for whom teaching is a vocation rather than a career, who set the highest standards for children regardless of starting point, and who believe in the transformative power of education.
Part of Emmanuel Schools Foundation, Trinity Academy has sister schools in Blyth, Gateshead, Middlesbrough and Sunderland.
