We are pleased to inform you that the Governors have appointed Ms Jo Hawkin to be our new Headteacher from 1 September.

Dear Parents and Carers

Co-Headteachers – Sheila Johnston and Derek Kay

After five years in their position the Co-Heads have decided to retire from the end of the present academic year. They have done a great job and will be sorely missed. We shall therefore be advertising for a new Headteacher as soon as possible. The appointment would be from 1st September but there would be a proper handover before this to ensure continuity.

Please read the letter below for more information:

Co-Headteachers - January 2019 (pdf)

GCSE & A Level Certificates for examinations taken in summer 2018 are available for collection from the Sixth Form Centre during school hours.

Year 10 Work Experience, Monday 1st July – Friday 5th July 2019 (inclusive)

Year 10 students will have an opportunity to take part in five days of work experience during the summer term. The work experience programme is a very valuable and enjoyable experience for our students and relies upon students, with parental assistance, finding their own placements. Students should if possible choose a placement which is related to a career they would like to pursue in the future so that they gain a useful insight into what it involves.

Please view the letter and return the consent form by no later than Friday 7 December 2018 below:

Congratulations to our students on the results they have achieved in a year where there have been more changes than ever to GCSE examinations which have undoubtedly become more challenging. We cannot fault their hard work and commitment and thank also all of our staff who have worked with them. We wish our students every success in the future, whether they are joining us in Sixth Form or moving on to college, an apprenticeship or employment.

Exam Results

A Level Results

We are very proud of the achievements of our Year 13 students; the 2018 results show clearly their hard work and commitment to their studies. Congratulations go to them, along with thanks to the staff who have worked so hard to support them.

There are many individual successes to celebrate: two students, Tom Cox and Ben Im Thurm, achieved four A* grades, a fantastic achievement. Tom goes to Durham University to study Maths and Ben goes to Bristol University to study Biochemistry.

The grades our students achieved mean they now move on to a range of universities as well as, more than ever before, degree level apprenticeships. We wish them all the very best.

Literacy and Progress

It is vitally important for all our students to make progress in English and Mathematics.

To this end, we regularly monitor progress, and use a wide range of intervention strategies to help students achieve their full potential. It is very common for students to have some type of intervention or 'booster' lessons at some point during their time at Trinity School, regardless of their ability level.
