About

we value The Head Learning is central to everything we do. We are curious about this amazing world and find joy in learning about it. We work hard, pay attention and keep trying. We show care and respect for ourselves, our community and our environment. We come together to ensure all feel safe and celebrated. We are kind and polite. We engage in all school life.

We are enriched by the many opportunities available, by deepening relationships and by developing a sense of purpose. We participate fully in everything we do. Trinity Academy is a unique school with the highest aspirations for young people.

We opened in 2019 and were immediately oversubscribed as families resonated with our vision for being a centre of teaching excellence, a place where students are deeply cared for and our focus on the co-curriculuar, particularly music and the performing arts. We are a highly diverse community where all are not only welcomed, but thrive.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.

Governing body (10 current, 9 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

2 governors are linked to a profile (all confirmed).

Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
