Holy Trinity School and Sixth Form Centre is a unique School, and is one of only a handful of non-independent all-through schools in the country.

We educate children from ages four to eighteen in a school setting that dates back over 120 years. We blend modern teaching methods with a traditional focus on high expectations.

Our Preparatory School educates 350 pupils from Reception to Year 6, and our Senior School educates 400 students from Year 7 to Year 13. Whilst our Preparatory teachers mainly teach within Prep and our Senior School teachers focus on their subjects in Key Stage 3 and above, our all-through nature affords the opportunity for subjects to be taught to earlier year groups with specialist support.

The size of our school sets us apart from many others. We are large enough to offer a full suite of subjects and facilities, whilst ensuring our students are not lost in a large crowd, and allowing teachers to make a genuine impact. Our independent school heritage gives us a more academic approach to the curriculum; however, we ensure that our students have a full appreciation for the arts and that they fully participate in sporting pursuits.

We are seeking to appoint a Teacher of Science, to commence from September 2024 or January 2025.
