Trinity Academy Leeds

About Trinity Academy Leeds

Trinity Academy Leeds sits within the Leeds local authority, a secondary state school for 951 pupils aged 11 to 16. It is one of 15 schools in the authority rated Outstanding by Ofsted, out of 50 secondary schools overall. Among its closest peers in the area, it ranks alongside The Ruth Gorse Academy, Allerton High School, and Mount St Mary's Catholic High School, the last of which is also the nearest Outstanding-rated school, just 1.1 kilometres away. The school is heavily oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 847 applications for 240 places, with 362 families putting it as their first preference. Of those, 229 were offered a place, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.53 applicants per place. This level of demand reflects its strong local reputation, and the school's non-religious character means it draws from a broad catchment across Leeds.

Academically, the school's most recent Ofsted inspection in April 2024 awarded it the highest possible grade across all five categories: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management were all rated Outstanding. This is a clean sweep of top marks. While the data does not include specific Progress 8 or KS2 SATs scores for the school, the Leeds local authority average Progress 8 score sits at 0.07, which is slightly above the national average. Given the Outstanding rating for quality of education, families can expect the school to be performing well above that baseline. The school does not have a sixth form, so pupils will need to move on after Year 11, but the strong behaviour and personal development ratings suggest they will be well prepared for the next step.

The school offers a wide range of facilities including a sports hall, swimming pool, theatre, tennis courts, and playing fields, with sports on offer such as basketball, rugby, dance, and athletics. Clubs include Book Club, Young Enterprise, Science Club, and Model UN, giving pupils plenty of extracurricular options. SEND provision is comprehensive, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate to severe learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, hearing and visual impairments, physical disability, and autistic spectrum disorder. With 58.6 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a diverse and economically mixed community. It will suit families who want a high-performing, inclusive secondary with strong pastoral and academic support, but who are comfortable with the lack of a sixth form on site.
