Teacher of English (Fixed Term) job summary
The courses followed within the department embody both the ethos of the school and the aims of the department. We build upon the foundations taught at primary school so that pupils leave Trinity as articulate individuals who can communicate confidently with others.
As part of the Teach Manchester Alliance, we work collaboratively with other schools and colleges. This informs our planning and allows us to reflect upon our current practice, for example transition from KS2 to KS3, and challenging pupils to meet the level 9 demands.
Although already a successful department, we actively continue to seek ways of raising standards. The English team is supportive of one another and of students.
At KS3 pupils are taught in mixed ability form groups, whilst at KS4 all pupils are taught in sets according to ability.
In Years 7-9 pupils have 7 English lessons a fortnight. The curriculum at Key Stage 3 has been developed to enable pupils to develop their SPAG skills, but also have the opportunity to study a range of texts from different genres and periods in time. Given the new 1-9 specification demands, we have adapted our KS3 schemes to include the explicit teaching of structural devices and have introduced more 19th Century texts. Students are given regular feedback on their work and are expected to act upon it during lessons.
In Years 10 and 11, all students follow both the English Language and English Literature courses (AQA). Students have 8 English lessons per fortnight. They value both subjects and are given regular feedback (standardised by members of our department who mark for the exam board).
With the opening of the Sixth Form, the department now offers A-Level English Literature (Edexcel).
All classrooms are equipped with Smartboards and visualisers. Computer rooms and sets of tablets can be booked to support students with their independent learning. We also have access to a well-stocked Learning Resource Base and an Interactive Lecture Theatre.
The department currently has 10 full time and 3 part time teachers, with a wide range of specialisms and experience. We also have learning mentors who deliver our ‘catch-up’ intervention sessions with Year 7 and Year 11 students.

Trinity Church of England High School was opened in 1984 with the foundation motto of “Faith in the City, Value in People, Excellence in Education”.
Today, over thirty years on, Trinity is an outstanding place of learning, promoting the education of students in a community which is positively Christian but welcomes the children of parents of other faiths. Trinity’s most recent full Ofsted Inspection took place in January 2014, and we were judged to be ‘Outstanding’ in all categories and ‘Outstanding for overall effectiveness’.
Trinity benefited from a £21.5 million Wave 4 BSF Buildings & ICT Investment, which comprised an 80% rebuild and 15% modernisation. The latest capital development, the £3 million brand new Trinity Sixth Form Centre, opened in September 2016, and will have a capacity of 240 students, eventually taking the school student population up to 1460.
Located adjacent to Manchester University, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester Museum, the Science Park and the Royal Northern College of Music, we are easily accessible from all parts of the city and are close to the many amenities of the city centre and excellent transport links. We make good use of our proximity to both universities, theatres, galleries, museum, the RNCM, the Aquatics Centre and Sports City.
The School's overall aim is to provide a Christian environment in which young people are safe, secure, cared for and happy, and are able to develop into articulate, confident and well qualified citizens of the world.
