Introduction

Trinity School is the only Church of England secondary school in the London Borough of Bexley. It became an academy in April



Anglican Schools inspectors said: “Students confidently and sensitively discuss matters of faith and belief, and their understanding of religious issues supports community cohesion”.

There is a Trinity School Code. Ofsted inspectors said: “Students enjoy their schooling, and this contributes to their good achievement”.

Trinity is part of the Trinitas Academy Trust together with Christ Church (Erith) and St Augustine of Canterbury Primary Schools. This venture has created a series of schools where Christian values are used.

The three schools in the Trust work together on all aspects of teaching and learning. The Academy Trust is led by a Board of Directors which includes members of the Governing Bodies, representatives of the Bishop of Rochester and the Diocesan Board of Education. A Chief Executive has overall responsibility for the Trust and the Primary Academies are led by an Executive Head Teacher working with Heads of School. [1]
