Wouldn’t recommend
Used to a be a really good, kind and accepting school but since dramatic changes in management and senior leadership it’s turned into a bit of a nightmare school. As an ex-student I have endless stories on how the school heavily pushed its conservative, hyper-Christian agenda onto us e.g. sending in anti abortion advocates to tell young girls that it is murder or priests who said gay was not ‘the path God has for you’. The school has sold out its ethos especially now as it’s joined a group of multiple Catholic academies.
Another huge problem for the school is it’s terrible communication. The teachers were awful at communicating with each other as well as parents and students. They make senseless quick decisions that you then have to amend yourself, for example changing the tier of your exam weeks before you sit your GCSE.
The school constantly attempts to put random guidelines and rules in, these last a few weeks but then eventually die out as staff become reluctant to enforce them.
The school is also struggling with mass vaccines and has been for years, leading the school to place teachers into subjects they have no knowledge of, this is especially prominent in its Art department.
The art used to be amazing but since the departure of both it’s art teachers the school has failed to up keep the level of art they once had. The senior leadership fails to see the department as fundamental so puts next to no funding into it anymore. The head of department is a design technology teacher with no experience teaching art.
Many of the teaching staff (not all) are extremely negative and make no effort to motivate students.
The school has no where near enough support for struggling students as to my knowledge they never replaced the previous support worker. I personally came to a member of the senior leadership team with concerns about covid guidelines being changed within the school a week before my GCSES and was met with the response that not everything what about my year and my needs.
The leadership team often doesn’t support its own staff enough when they are obviously struggling.
The only positive I could think of was that bullying wasn’t especially prominent within the school and members of teaching staff did make efforts to prevent it.
The school doesn’t know it’s students anymore and makes little effort to discover their needs.
These issues don’t even cover the extent of its problems.

I’m ashamed of this school
This school is sexist, derogatory and close minded. They don’t listen to the students and only care about money. Trinity used to be a good school, but has quickly gone downhill. Students are miserable and teachers are forced to follow rules in fear of loosing their jobs. It is an ego-tripping, power hungry place and I would not recommend coming here

Needs work
First of, I’d like to say that it is a Catholic school and will teach its religion to you. Next I’d like to say that quite a few of the teachers are brilliant amazing people who deserve more than this school. The people who run Trinity are severely out of touch with adolescents and the current world.
