Only 3 days to go...

Good luck to all of our Year 11 students receiving their GCSE results this Thursday.

We know how much effort, perseverance and determination you've shown throughout your time at school, and we're incredibly proud of everything you've achieved.

Take a deep breath, enjoy the rest of the week and remember that whatever happens on Thursday, there are plenty of exciting opportunities ahead.

We're all rooting for you!🍀

🌸 Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary 🌸

Today, we celebrate Mary being taken, body and soul, into Heaven - a sign of hope and the promise of eternal life for all who follow Christ. 🙏✨

Mary’s Assumption reminds us to lift our hearts to God, trust in His plan and live with faith, hope and love. Let us honour her example of humility and obedience as we strive to walk closer with Jesus each day. 💛

“Hail Mary, full of grace… pray for us now and at the hour of our death.”

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate another strong set of A level results at Trinity Sixth Form. From exceptional STEM outcomes and top grades to outstanding achievements in Sport, our T6 students have shown what hard work, dedication and ambition can achieve.

A huge congratulations to Isaac, Pearl, Lennon, Julia and Alex, who are all heading on to exciting next steps — from Medicine and English Literature at university to careers, apprenticeships and semi-professional sport. 🌟

Well done to all our students and staff for an incredible year of achievement! 👏
