Trinity School
About Trinity School
Trinity School sits within Cumberland local authority as a Church of England secondary for pupils aged 11 to 18, one of twenty state secondaries in the area. Among its local peers, it ranks behind Keswick School and Cockermouth School but ahead of Richard Rose Morton Academy, placing it in the upper tier of Cumberland's non-selective schools. The school is large, with 1,675 pupils on roll, and is led by headteacher David Samson. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in February 2024, confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across its previous graded inspections. Leadership and management were also judged Good in the last full graded inspection in 2014, and the school's sixth form provision was rated Good at that time. With only one school in the local authority rated Outstanding, Trinity's Good rating puts it in strong company for families seeking a reliably well-regarded secondary option in the area.
