The mission at TSFA is to develop 'Life Ready' learners. To achieve this, we follow the below approach: Through expert teaching, students acquire Powerful Knowledge knowledge and skills that they otherwise would not have access to. We then aim to instill inward-looking values that define us as people.
The four core Professional Standards that we encourage students to foster are: integrity, mental toughness, an attention to detail and work ethic, enabling students to reflect honestly on their strengths and areas of development as virtuous people. We want students to be autonomous and independent in their thinking and acting.
Lastly, students develop an outward-looking sense of themselves and the world through our Civic Virtues . These virtues enable students to consider how best to be virtuous as part of a local, national, and global community. Trinity Scholars Trinity Scholar students benefit from an additional investment of up to £6000
