Trinity Academy Cathedral joined the Trinity Multi Academy Trust in 2016 and soon showed a dramatic improvement by becoming ‘The Secondary School of the Year’ in the country by TES in 2019, followed by SIAMS Excellent in 2020. The Principal and staff set an ambition to be outstanding, consistently improving academically and pastorally.
In May 2022, after six years of hard work by staff and students, the academy was awarded Outstanding in all areas: this was a testament to setting high standards, a compelling curriculum and full pastoral programme to prepare students for the future.
Our academy is now a place of high expectations and excellent progress that places us comfortably in the top 5% of UK secondary schools every year. Behaviour is excellent and achievement is high.
Guided by the MAT’s core values and our own strong Christian ethos, we work hard to ensure our students become happy, fulfilled and well-rounded people. Innovative initiatives such as Masters of Recall and CAPA Juniors (Performing Arts pathway) help maximise opportunities for every child.
High quality CPD is an integral part of the staff experience at TAC, as it is in all Trinity schools. Our bespoke CPD curriculum is tailored to the needs of individual staff at all career stages. We are heavily led by research into how learning happens, and continually refine our practice to ensure we are masters in the complex craft of teaching. We invest significantly in ‘Subject Passion’ sessions, through which CPD is delivered with an expert disciplinary lens.
ECTs are supported through a powerful and impactful training programme, which includes a 1:1 mentor, plentiful opportunities to see others in the classroom, conferences, and additional PPA time. All new staff also benefit from a supportive induction programme throughout the first term and beyond, recognising that no matter your experience, we are all novices when we start in a new school!
We are highly committed to staff well-being and workload, and through our staff well-being charter, we strive to ensure Trinity Academy Cathedral is a supportive, fulfilling and inspiring place to work.
