Trinity Academy Grammar
Vice Principal Inclusion
Salary: L20-L24 (£82,654 - £91,157)
Trinity Academy Grammar is an ambitious and inclusive 11-16 academy that has had a plethora of successes. For example, two years ago Ofsted graded the academy as good with outstanding features in Leadership and Personal Development. Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do, and this role is pivotal in terms of shaping the next five years. We are seeking a passionate and committed leader who wants to make a difference to the lives of every young person who walks through our doors. To ensure we meet the needs of every student, we have developed a number of additional provisions and have invested heavily in the staffing of our pastoral teams. The Vice Principal Inclusion, will ensure the further development of these provisions and the staff involved in them.
These provisions include:
An off-site tier two Alternative Provision (Trinity Academy Carlton Mill)
A Resource Provision for children with autism
A SEMH SEND provision
An EAL base
A Wellbeing Hub
The Vice Principal Inclusion will work alongside other senior leaders, a vast pastoral team, our Lead Teacher – Behaviour and Culture, as well as an experienced Personal Development team. We have invested heavily in these areas to ensure we achieve great things for all students.
If you are a senior leader in a secondary setting, with the vision to drive the strategic direction and development of the academy’s student support 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 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 students’ life chances through the provision of the highest quality of education and committed to achieving excellent results for the students. You must have a strong work ethic and high expectations of yourself and others and have the ability to lead staff and students in realising those expectations.
This role will appeal to a number of prospective candidates: leaders seeking progression and their next challenge, or a current deputy/vice principal looking to hone their leadership skills. For candidates with the necessary experience, this role would offer additional responsibilities and development opportunities so that, if they choose to, they would be ready to lead their own school within three years.

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.
