Overview
Overview
A Christian all-through education gives Trinity School a continuous shape from Nursery to age 16. Early years, primary and secondary phases are joined within one mixed day route, so pupils can progress through the school before GCSE study without a separate sixth-form stage.
The secondary curriculum follows the National Curriculum within a Christian framework. English, Mathematics, Science and Humanities sit alongside Art, Design Technology, Physical Education and Modern Foreign Languages. Worldviews is distinctive: pupils consider beliefs and cultures through a Biblical lens, linking subject study to the wider faith-based approach.
Pastoral care, wellbeing and SEND support accompany academic work. Worship, personal development and Christian values are part of day-to-day life, while the all-through structure carries pupils from early years through primary and secondary education. The result is a continuous route in which faith and subject learning are intended to reinforce one another.
The 2025 GCSE results include a 100 per cent pass rate at grades 1 to 9, with subject-level results reported for English Language, Science, Citizenship and Spanish. The school has no boarding or Sixth Form, so its main educational decision is the progression through the all-through route to GCSE.
