Trinity Academy Sowerby Bridge is an ambitious and inclusive 11-16 school that has 800 pupils on roll and is over-subscribed in years 7, 8 and 9. Following a period of support from Trinity MAT, the school formally joined the Trust in 2018. There has since been significant improvement in outcomes, meaning the academy can now be recognised as one of the most improved schools in the country. The school is recognised under the body of world class schools. 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. It is now seeking to appoint a strong Teacher of EAL to join an ambitious and ever-thriving EAL team, dedicated to supporting the 46% of students, who qualify as EAL.
The school is committed to providing a fitting and ambitious curriculum suitable for all its students and has already invested significantly in establishing and developing a committed and hardworking EAL team, who remain guided by the core values of: Empathy, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility. This is a fantastic opportunity for a committed individual, with a passion for supporting vulnerable students in their quest to improve the English proficiency of our students.
As we have an ever-changing picture of our EAL students’ needs, we cater for those with the weakest levels of English within an alternative provision and seek to support teachers within mainstream lessons where EAL students with adequate proficiency in English, are situated. Following 12 months of rapid progress in this area, we are looking to expand our team, and appoint a Teacher of EAL to lead the alternative provision base and support with EAL students within the wider school.
Currently, the EAL team comprises of the staff below:
*A senior leader dedicated to the oversight of all EAL students at TASB.
*An Academy Lead for EAL who strategically oversees the curriculum and pastoral support provided to all EAL students at TASB.
*An EAL Co-ordinator who teaches students with low proficiency in EAL, currently being educated within our alternative provision.
*An EAL engagement officer to support predominantly with the pastoral care of our Czech/Slovak students.
If you are a teacher within a Primary or Secondary School setting, with the vision to drive the strategic direction and development of our EAL provision, this role offers an outstanding opportunity to play a key role in the further development of Trinity Academy Grammar. You must be fully committed to optimising the opportunities that are available to our most vulnerable 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 our EAL students’ life chances and supporting them throughout their journey at Trinity Academy Grammar. You must have a strong work ethic and high expectations of yourself and others, with the ability to lead staff and students in realising those expectations.

Trinity Multi Academy Trust were first approached to work with the then Sowerby Bridge High School, when it had been graded as inadequate by Ofsted and had been ranked in the bottom 15% of all schools nationally.
In September 2021 we adopted the new name of Trinity Academy Grammar to better communicate our identity, high standards and aspirations for our students. We chose a name which truly reflects our grammar school heritage, and to better showcase our core values of Empathy, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility,
Now, Trinity Academy Grammar is one of the most improved schools in the country, receiving an Ofsted grading of Good with Outstanding in Leadership and Personal Development in February 2023.
We also proudly hold the World Class Schools Quality Mark award. Our sole purpose is for all students to feel known, valued and understood and to leave the Academy equipped for the next stages of their lives. Our passionate and committed staff work tirelessly to ensure the young people of Trinity Academy Grammar, receive only the very best.
We have invested significantly in the professional development of our staff, offering bespoke CPD programmes for teaching and support staff at all stages of their career. These include a new staff induction programme, which runs throughout the first term for any staff joining the academy, including 10-Minute Tip coaches for the duration of the programme. TAG greatly values its Early Career Teachers (ECTs), who also receive regular mentor support as well as opportunities to engage in the latest education research.
Every single one of our ECTs reported that they experienced good support and guidance during their programme, which had a direct positive impact on their practice. The teaching and learning team lead regular bespoke CPD, including weekly practice, for all teaching staff, teaching assistants, learning mentors and curriculum tutors, all of which is underpinned by the latest educational research.
In addition to this, curriculum and subject-focused CPD is led regularly throughout the term by curriculum leaders. All leaders, curricular and pastoral, receive additional weekly leadership development by line managers and through regular group CPD sessions led by the Senior Leadership Team (SLT).
Everything is designed to attract and retain the very best people who will, in turn, create the best outcomes for our students, in order that they leave us feeling known, valued and understood.
