About the School
Holy Trinity Catholic School (11-16) seeks to serve young people from both the Catholic and the local community, welcoming all those who embrace its values and share its quest for excellence.
In January 2020, a Section 48 inspection rated the school ‘Outstanding’ and Ofsted judged the school as ‘Outstanding’ for Personal Development, Behaviour & Attitudes, and Leadership & Management in September 2023. We are very proud of these achievements; our Catholic faith underpins everything we do as a school community.
Located in Small Heath, Birmingham, Holy Trinity is a mixed secondary school and founder partner of the St Teresa of Calcutta Multi-Academy Company, within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham.
Holy Trinity currently has 755 pupils on roll, with significantly higher proportions of SEND, disadvantaged, EAL, and minority ethnic pupils than national averages. Starting points on entry are well below national levels. The school draws from over 45 feeder primaries and serves a community in the upper quintile for deprivation nationally.
Underpinned by Catholic Social Teaching (CST) our school works relentlessly to alleviate poverty within its own community and wider, and battles to provide ‘a preferential option for the poor’. Holy Trinity goes above and beyond in its caring ethos to support those who are disadvantaged and sees this as an essential part of its mission to follow the example of Jesus Christ.
