Senior Leadership Group

We are committed to making Trinity Academy Bradford an outstanding school for the local community. Our focus on outstanding teaching, meaningful pastoral care and a creative curriculum means that every student thrives. We work hard to develop curiosity, a love of learning, resilience and kindness in our students. We invest heavily in our staff, students and facilities to ensure that the children who attend Trinity Academy Bradford receive the best possible educational experience and opportunities during their time here.

As Principal, I am committed to making Trinity Academy Bradford an outstanding school for the local community where every student thrives. We are a welcoming and supportive academy, with a relentless determination to provide the very best education for every child. We place students at the centre of everything we do, with a focus on creating a culture of success and a positive climate for learning.

My role is to lead Personal Development, meaning I get to look at all the different ways that we can provide our students with a rich range of opportunities to expand their experiences outside the classroom, involving extra-curricular opportunities, Phase 1 Graduation, and much more. We also believe that all students should have an equal and fair access to education. I am responsible for ensuring that we use our Pupil Premium funding to ensure that all students, including our disadvantaged students, make rapid progress and that any barriers to learning are removed to them. Finally, I work with our Data and Exams team to ensure we are providing all the support that exams classes need to succeed, and that we’re reacting to what the data tells us about where students need to improve.

It is vital that we create a culture of continuous improvement for all. Through our internal processes, we are constantly reflecting on our practice to develop our staff and equip them with the skills they need to facilitate the highest standard of learning. This involves working with our Teaching and Learning team to implement the latest strategies, working with Curriculum Leaders to support the implementation of the curriculum and developing new practitioners to be the best teachers that they can be.

My role as Assistant Principal is to work with the academy’s extensive pastoral team to ensure all students are effectively monitored through Behaviour for Learning, safeguarding and child protection systems. We endeavour to maintain high levels of student attendance by consistently rewarding students who meet or exceed our expectations and promote the school's core values. It is the role of my team to challenge student’s expectations of themselves and to take the necessary actions to ensure positive changes learnt by students become a habit.

We will ensure that our systems remain inclusive and focus on the personal development of all our students to achieve the maximum possible, regardless of their background, ethnicity, gender, special educational need or social challenges.

I am proud to work with our talented middle leadership team to shape the content and sequencing of the experience of students in the classroom. I ensure that the progress of students is monitored closely and work with a wider team to facilitate appropriate interventions.

We are also committed to providing all of our students with a high standard of Careers Information, Advice and Guidance, and through leading on careers at Trinity Academy Bradford, I am committed to expanding the opportunities that our students have to experience work place information and experiences.

I am resolute in my belief that education beyond the classroom can transform pupils’ life chances and, in turn, allow them to progress and flourish in society. By working closely with the Year Manager team, I can ensure that all students are supported to fully engage with academy life. I also lead the Student Well-being and Attendance teams. Together, our teams work to remove all barriers to learning that a student might experience, and place a strong emphasis on building, developing, and maintaining positive relationships with all young people, so that they can thrive in our academy environment.
