The reason for our local and national success is that at Trinity School, we take an individual approach to each pupil’s education. The combination of academic excellence varied extra-curricular provision and excellent pastoral care, without sacrificing one element over another, is at the very heart of what we do. This approach allows and supports pupils to grow into well-rounded individuals, equipped with the skills needed to succeed at school and, most importantly, after school. We pride ourselves on the welcoming and family atmosphere present in all sections of our school community. While I am delighted that we continue to win many awards and recognition, seeing pupils grow from taking their first steps in education in our nursery class to leaving Sixth Form as confident young adults ready for the outside world is something truly special.
