The Trinity Catholic School

What The Trinity Catholic School does

The Trinity Catholic School is a voluntary academy secondary school and sixth form located in Nottingham, UK, educating over 1,100 students aged 11–19 across Years 7–13. It is operated within the Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Multi-Academy Trust, a 36-school diocesan network in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, and delivers a Catholic curriculum underpinned by Catholic Social Teaching, a distinct chaplaincy, and an unusually broad music programme run in partnership with the Trust's Music Service.

The school's revenue is overwhelmingly derived from government education funding (pupil premium, catch-up premium, and 16–19 tuition funding) routed through the MAT, with minor transactional streams from hiring the Sports Hall, ICT Suite, Drama Studio, Science Classroom and Kingsbury Meeting room to the community, and from termly paid instrumental music lessons ranging from £50 (group) to £225 (30-minute individual). Admissions are coordinated through the local authority and the Trust's Local Governing Body, with feeder flow from the Catherine McAuley Hub of four Catholic primary schools.

The underlying technology is conventional for the sector: a WordPress-based public site, Microsoft Office 365 Outlook for email, Google Analytics for traffic insight, the Arbor App for attendance, Unifrog for careers and work-experience placements, and Google Forms / Google Translate for safeguarding and accessibility. There are no proprietary digital products, software platforms, or AI/ML systems disclosed. The school holds a 'Good' Ofsted rating (December 2024) and a 'Good' Diocesan Canonical Inspection (2021), and has previously held National Support School (2012–2015) and Leading Edge Status (2011) designations.
