We think that what you will see is a vibrant and thriving community, with a strong sense of common purpose and a consistent focus on high standards. Although we are a large school, which allows us to offer a wide range of courses and activities, we try to behave as if we were a very small one, with a ‘village’ feel and a big emphasis on the unique importance of each individual. We make no apology for our focus on high standards as we want the best for every one of our students: we insist on high standards in approach to learning and in behaviour. We work to offer a high standard of education and of pastoral care. We encourage responsibility, both for self and for others. Each student is encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning, and to be responsible in the way they treat others, both in school and in the world beyond school. Responsibility and care for others reflects the Christian ethos of our school. We also seek to provide wide ranging opportunities both within the curriculum we offer and in activities beyond the curriculum so that we educate the whole person and prepare our students well for life. While the school is distinctively Christian and rooted in Anglican identity, this is not expressed to the exclusion of those of other faiths or no faith. Trinity is a Good school with a positive Ofsted recent report with 1694 pupils of which 347 are sixth form pupils. The school has a main dining room, year 11 dining room and separate sixth form block with a sixth form café where breakfast, break and lunch are served. There is also a supplementary break time service served from the hall. The catering service at Trinity has been contracted out for a long time. The school is keen to maintain a high standard of food and service and is always looking for continuous improvement and new ideas from its catering provider. The catering facilities are quite modern but the school is always open to new ideas to further improve the service.
