Trinity Sixth Form Academy praised in latest Ofsted inspection with a Strong standard across all graded areas

Inclusion isn’t a buzzword. It’s daily practice.
“Leaders and staff successfully promote an inclusive culture, underpinned by frequently updated evidence-informed strategies and specialist training. They ensure that students achieve and thrive, irrespective of starting points or barriers to learning.”
“Students with high needs produce work of a high standard. They take pride in their work, maintaining well-organised folders and portfolios which they revisit frequently to ensure they have clear, accurate notes to aid their revision.”

Teaching that builds real confidence
“Students make rapid progress from their starting points in developing new knowledge and skills. They gain a deep understanding of the knowledge that they need to be successful in their subjects and become skilled in evaluation, analysis and critical thinking.”

Real choices for life after sixth form
“Students are very well prepared for their next steps. Four fifths of students progress to university, with around a quarter of these gaining places at prestigious universities. This proportion has increased over the past few years and has more than doubled since 2023. One fifth of students progress to apprenticeships or work in careers directly related to their areas of interest and study.”

Proud, but never finished.
