Questions about Holy Trinity Academy

Holy Trinity Academy's last overall grade from Ofsted was Good, on 15 May 2018. Ofsted inspected it again on 10 May 2023 without giving a new overall grade.
How do I apply for a place at Holy Trinity Academy?
Apply through the council where you live by 31 October in your child's Year 6, for a place starting the following September. You apply to your home council even if Holy Trinity Academy is in another council's area, and can usually list between 3 and 6 schools in order of preference. Offers are sent on 1 March, or the next working day. As a Roman Catholic and Church of England school it may also ask for a supplementary form, and its admissions policy says whether it does.
Does living near Holy Trinity Academy guarantee a place?
No. Distance only counts when Holy Trinity Academy has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by its governing body, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. As a Roman Catholic and Church of England school, it can give priority to children on grounds of faith. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
How many pupils are at Holy Trinity Academy?
Holy Trinity Academy had 994 pupils aged 11 to 18 at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 1,050. It is a mixed school with a sixth form.
