About Trinity Sixth Form Academy

Trinity Sixth Form Academy is a state-funded, mixed 16-19 institution in Calderdale, Yorkshire and the Humber, operating at near-full capacity with 854 pupils against a published capacity of 850. This tight fit suggests strong local demand for post-16 provision in the area, though the school does not publish admissions oversubscription data to confirm the exact pressure. The pupil population includes a range of needs, with the school recording support for Specific Learning Difficulty (Dyslexia), Moderate Learning Difficulty, Social, Emotional & Mental Health, Hearing Impairment, Physical Disability, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, and Other Difficulty/Disability. While the data does not provide a free school meals percentage for this school, the local authority context shows a single Outstanding-rated school among 15 same-type secondaries, with the nearest Outstanding option being Trinity Academy Halifax, 3.4 kilometres away. This positions Trinity Sixth Form Academy as a significant local choice for students aged 16-19, particularly those seeking a non-faith, mixed environment without a religious character.
