It is an honour and a privilege to lead Trinity Catholic College. As a headteacher it is my responsibility to ensure that your children get the very best education and that is why I lead our school through the eyes of a parent. My philosophy is clear; if it is not good enough for my own daughter then it is not good enough for yours. Therefore, I ensure that the high expectations I have for my own child are realised in every decision I make here at Trinity Catholic College. At Trinity we are unashamedly ambitious for our pupils, staff and whole community. Our unique 11-18 school is vibrant and forward thinking, meeting the changing needs of the young people and their families in the modern age. We are proud of our rich heritage and the tradition of academic excellence combined with outstanding pastoral care. Trinity Catholic College is the only 11-18 Catholic provision in Middlesbrough and we are privileged and committed to educating your son or daughter for seven years. Trinity Catholic College provides the best start in life, enabling students to confidently meet the challenges of the wider world. Here, academic excellence is achieved in surroundings where relationships are based on care, trust and respect. We welcome students from across Middlesbrough building a Catholic community that has, at its heart, prayer and service to others. Our Catholic foundation and ethos is central to all that we do, supported by the work of our lively Chaplaincy Team. Our mission is simple yet powerful; we follow Jesus, build our family and, in turn, fulfil our potential. At Trinity, a special value is placed on love and forgiveness, which encourages relationships based on trust, kindness, self-respect and care for those in need.

London

Persona has been providing personal and professional development programmes founded on the philosophy of the Person-Centred Approach for over 20 years, specialising in the design and delivery of professionally accredited, post graduate level training in Counselling and Psychotherapy. The central values of the Person-Centred approach are a major influence in the design, structure of the programmes we provide as well as how they are delivered and managed. Our trainers and facilitators are committed to fulfilling their roles in ways that embody a Person-Centred philosophy, principally a trust in each person’s ability to find a way to direct his/her own development, based on a belief in the actualising tendency; the tendency of the individual to grow and develop to their full potential. Persona also provides training at certificate level: a Certificate in Counselling Skills for individuals and bespoke programmes in Applied Counselling Skills for organisations. These programmes focus on the development of intra-personal and inter-personal skills applied to different organisational settings, such as education, healthcare, social work, social care or HR. The Persona Staff Team are all experienced counsellors, psychotherapists and trainers. As facilitators, the team are committed to facilitating the process of each programme by communicating acceptance, empathic understanding and congruence and through these core attitudes provide the learning environment and structure of the course. Our programme are also designed to be accessible for those who have busy work schedules.
