I cannot wait to meet you all in person, looking smart in your new uniforms on the first day of term. My promise to you is that myself and your teachers will give you the very best quality of education to support you in achieving your future goals; to University and beyond. In return, I ask that you give us your best from the very first day that you join us. Our academy motto is, ‘Reach Higher, See Further, Shine Brighter’ which means that we have the highest expectations about what you can all achieve with us. I am looking forward to welcoming you in September. Please continue to check our website for further information about the transition process.

My job is to ensure that you enjoy the very best possible educational experience and love learning with us. I can’t wait to see you enjoying science in our brand new labs, performing in our drama studio and playing sport on our huge 3G pitch; there are so many exciting opportunities ahead for you all. To make an excellent first impression, I am looking for polite, enthusiastic and hardworking new students. All I ask is that you try your very best each and every day and if you do, success and rewards will soon come your way. See you soon, Year 7!

My job is to ensure our school remains a calm and safe place for students to learn each day. Alongside making sure all students meet our high expectations, I will also support students to achieve excellent attendance. At the very start of our journey together, I look for students who are showing Empathy, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility. These core values are what makes a fantastic student.

You might need a special piece of equipment to help you learn, or you might need extra help to get organised, or you might just need a bit of extra help in lessons. It's my job to make sure you get that help and can achieve your best while you are at Trinity Academy Leeds.

Trinity Academy Leeds is a highly aspirational academy. At TAL, students and staff alike live by our mantra of reach higher, see further and shine brighter. In short this means that we want all of our students to: work hard, have incredible opportunities and to be role models within the school and wider community. In my role as Phase Leader, I will support all of our students from their first day in Year 7 all the way through until they begin to choose their GCSE options. At each step of your journey, we will support you to become a world class learner who has the skills, knowledge and character to achieve all of your aspirations.

My role as transition lead is to make your move from Year 6 to Year 7 as smooth and successful as possible. I will work closely with your primary school teachers and your teachers across TAL to support you and ensure a strong start to your secondary school journey with us. I'll be here to answer any questions you might have, help you feel confident about starting your new school and ensure that transition is a positive step forward for you. I look forward to meeting you and seeing you soon!

I cannot wait to welcome you to TAL as you begin your journey to becoming a Purple Star. I will be there every step of the way, supporting you to become the best version of yourself. The move to secondary school can be a little daunting but as your Head of Year I will help you settle in, build your confidence and find your place in our school community. There will be so many opportunities here for you from September to make friends, try new things and discover a passion you never knew you had! Every member of staff here will guide you and are looking forward to meeting you. I look forward to welcoming you and your families as we begin this journey together!
