Nottingham
On behalf of the students, staff and governors we wish to welcome you to the
website of The Trinity Catholic School. The history of the school can be traced
as far back as 1844 when the Sisters of Mercy came to Nottingham and opened St
Mary’s Elementary School and St Catherine’s Day and Boarding School on this
site. Since then as the demands for the Catholic education grew within
Nottingham so has the school, to the special place it is today educating over
eleven hundred young people. The school is an active member of the Our Lady of
Lourdes Catholic Multi-Academy Trust, along with the other twenty Catholic
schools within Nottinghamshire. We are a Catholic school with the aim of
developing our young people spiritually, socially and academically with Christ
at the centre of our work. Our school motto, ‘Ad de Gloriam’ meaning what we do
we offer to the glory of God, underpins the ethos of the school. This is
developed further within our school mission statement: “To the Glory of God, we
build our school on faith, love and respect” Academically we are consistently
one of the highest performing schools within Nottingham City both at GCSE and
A-Level. We ensure that all our students secure an appropriate next pathway in
their education upon leaving Trinity, whether that be an apprenticeship,
studying in our thriving sixth form or, following A-Levels, securing a place at
a top university. Beyond the curriculum, we offer unrivalled opportunities in
music, where all students take up an instrument, play in an orchestra and learn
to read music. In sport, we are extremely proud of our offer and achievements
particularly in football, netball, rugby and handball. We run a highly
successful Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme and have a rich programme of
extra-curricular activities for everyone.
