Maths Department at Trinity

The Maths Department at Trinity School is a vibrant, fully staffed team of seven dedicated teachers who work collaboratively to inspire a genuine love of Mathematics. We pride ourselves on being a supportive, friendly, and forward‑thinking department where staff and students thrive together.

Our mission is to raise the attainment of every student, nurturing independent, logical thinkers who are equipped to succeed in an increasingly complex world. Through a wide range of teaching strategies and evidence‑informed approaches, we ensure that all students not only achieve their full potential but also enjoy their mathematical learning journey. Maths results at Trinity are consistently above national average and progress 8 is consistently positive.

We are committed to maintaining a healthy work–life balance for our staff. To support this, we prioritise efficient and meaningful feedback practices, including live feedback in lessons and a whole‑class feedback model that enables responsive, time‑effective assessment.

Professional development is a cornerstone of our department. Weekly collaborative planning and CPD sessions provide structured opportunities for growth, and we actively encourage staff to engage with external training through the Maths Hub, NCETM, and NPQs. Our team includes colleagues currently undertaking advanced programmes such as the NCETM Teaching for Mastery and Leading Mastery courses, reflecting our strong culture of continuous improvement.

Alongside teaching KS3 and KS4 Mathematics, there are opportunities to teach additional qualifications such as FSMQ Additional Maths, GCSE Statistics, and Finance for those who are interested in broadening their experience.

We are excited about the possibility of welcoming a new colleague to join our dynamic and ambitious Maths team at Trinity School.
