We recognise that professional development is important for all staff at Trinity, it is our aim to support, encourage and role model positivity, resilience and a
focus on life-long learning for everyone in our school community.
Trinity Graduate Programme
We aim to support unqualified teachers as soon as they are appointed, giving them everything they need to become successful and effective teachers in their
subject areas. This programme is four years long, covering an unqualified year, PGCE (+ QTS) and two years as an ECT; presently all fully funded.
Aspiring Middle Leaders Programme
A year-long programme, delivered in collaboration with another local independent school. The course includes 1:1 coaching, a sustained change management project and a mixture of face-to-face
and online workshops delivered by external speakers and in-school experts.
Aspiring Senior Leaders Programme
A year-long programme available from September 2023, the aim is to support middle leaders with the move to senior leadership roles by providing experience in whole school impact projects and participation in skill-based seminars. Again, with coaching, external speakers and in-school experts.
Other opportunities
We have a variety of opportunities for staff to contribute to the policy making and culture of both academic and pastoral provisions within the school. To name a few, we have: Teaching and Learning Steering Committee, Digital Learning Programme (whole staff in-school CPD), working groups and we actively support teachers with conducting practitioner inquiries and action research.
Sustained CPD
We invest heavily in our professional development programmes – time, experience, and funding. This includes our Sustained CPD Programme which provides financial support for external courses which require sustained commitment from staff, such courses include: Masters Degrees, Sports Coaching, DELF training and life coaching.
