🎳✂️ Learners at Trinity have been enjoying some fantastic hands-on experiences recently!

Our students had a brilliant time on a bowling trip, building confidence, social skills and friendships outside the classroom. They have also been developing their practical barbering skills, learning how to create a perm and gaining valuable experience in a real-world style setting.

Well done to all involved — it’s great to see our learners trying new things, building independence and developing skills for the future! 👏✨

✨ Celebrating Acts of Kindness at the TDET awards ✨

We are incredibly proud to celebrate these inspiring examples of kindness from across our school community. Each nominee has shown the very best of our values: Ambition, Character and Safe.

Through supporting others, showing patience and compassion, raising money for an important cause, mentoring peers and helping to create calm, caring environments, they have demonstrated real character and a commitment to making a positive difference.

Their actions show ambition not only for themselves, but for those around them — encouraging others to thrive, feel supported and believe in their potential. They also remind us how important it is to create safe, respectful spaces where everyone can feel valued.

Well done to all of our nominees. You are fantastic role models, and we are so proud of the kindness, courage and positivity you bring to our community. 💚

As part of the Green Earth Schools initiative, students at the Fitzwilliam Campus helped design and create new outdoor areas filled with planting, nature crafts, seating spaces and even a bug hotel 🐞🌸

The project, delivered with support from Earthwatch Europe, PECT, Addison Lee and volunteers, has given pupils a calm, green space to enjoy, learn from and take pride in 💚

A wonderful example of pupil voice, teamwork and outdoor learning in action! 👏

A memorable day at Shakespeare's Globe 🩵

Macbeth students headed to London to experience Shakepeare's work in its most authentic setting.

After studying the play in their English lessons, they enjoyed an interactive workshop led by Globe practitioner, Jim.

They impressed staff with their curiosity and growing confidence as they asked lots of thoughtful questions and embraced new challenges.

Experiences like this help broaden horizons and inspire young people to achieve their potential. 🚀

Well done to all students who represented the academy so brilliantly. 👏
