Trinity Sixth Form Academy

What Trinity Sixth Form Academy does

Trinity Sixth Form Academy is a state-funded post-16 educational institution located in Halifax town centre, England, operating as part of the Trinity Multi Academy Trust. It serves 16-18 year-old students from Calderdale and surrounding areas, offering a broad curriculum of A-levels and Level 3 BTEC qualifications designed to prepare students for university, degree apprenticeships, and career entry. The academy reports that four fifths of its students progress to university — with around a quarter of those securing places at prestigious institutions including Oxbridge — and one fifth progress to apprenticeships or related careers; progress and attainment scores rank in the top 10% of sixth forms nationally.

The academy's core product is structured classroom-based further education, supplemented by three notable programmes: the Trinity Scholars programme (providing up to £6,000 of additional investment per scholar and dedicated Oxbridge Pathway and Trinity School of Medicine tracks), the Trinity+ enrichment curriculum (which embeds AI literacy and the E.D.I.T ethical-AI framework across subjects), and Trinity Enrich (sports, Duke of Edinburgh, Virtual Enterprise, and international cultural trips). Its technology stack consists of Microsoft 365 — SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook — used for student and staff operations, with mainstream AI tools (Microsoft Co-pilot, Gemini, ChatGPT) adopted within the curriculum under a trust-wide AI policy. There are no proprietary software products, APIs, or commercial technology offerings.

As a UK state sixth form, Trinity does not charge tuition to students; revenue is derived from government per-pupil funding administered through the Trinity Multi Academy Trust. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer admissions via the academy website, supported by open evenings, community outreach across Calderdale secondary schools, a prospectus, and a student ambassadors programme. The principal is Michael Fitzsimons, and the institution was rated 'Strong in all areas' by Ofsted in November 2025.
