Celebrating student success at Trinity

The below “Wall of Fame” celebrates some of the huge individual successes our students achieve. It is a celebration of current students and alumni and their phenomenal contribution and dedication to their sporting disciplines. As a department we want to support and nurture our elite athletes but also inspire a culture in line with the school ethos of Service. We therefore encourage our more able athletes to use their skills and expertise to help others succeed and further develop a passion for the sporting discipline the athletes help to promote.

Launch of Year 7 and 8 Football Academy in conjunction with Next Generation

Our year 7 and 8 Football Academy which is partnered with Next Generation Football, provides selected students with a two hour session every week which will be run by two UEFA B football coaches. These specific sessions will provide students with the opportunity to further develop their existing skills, improve their technical ability and ensure that the teams are tactically cohesive in order to prepare for next years football season. The academy is currently open to Year 7 and 8 but there is a view to expand this in the near future to all year groups.
