Trinity Academy Bradford continues on its transformational journey. Our vision is simple, yet clear – to provide our students with an outstanding education and experiences that will give them the platform to go on to achieve their potential and beyond. We are proud that our latest Ofsted inspection (March 2024) has recognised this commitment to our staff and students, as we achieved ‘Good with Outstanding’, despite taking on an inadequate school only 4 years ago.

Ofsted further commented that, ‘Pupils’ high-quality work and improved performance in published examination outcomes in many subjects reflect the quality of education they receive’ and that ‘Trust leaders prioritise this’ and are ‘taking decisive action to improve the quality of education and care that pupils receive’. Furthermore, ‘the way the school supports students to develop their character is exemplary’, providing experiences which ‘support them to stand out from others as well as giving them a broad experience of different careers’.
