Trinity Catholic School is a mixed Catholic secondary school in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England. The school has Technology College status awarded in 2000 and Arts College status awarded in 2004 and had been awarded Artsmark Gold award. Following an Ofsted inspection in 2009, the school was given a Grade 3 (satisfactory) rating for its overall performance. Another Ofsted inspection took place in June 2013, the school had improved and received a Grade 2 (Good). The school has a sixth form college on site.
Until September 2005 when they were amalgamated, the school operated from two separate campuses: Dormer Hall on Myton Road in Warwick, and Bishop Bright Hall/Freeman Hall on Guy's Cliffe Avenue in Leamington Spa.
Students at the school were allowed to wear casual clothes of their own choosing until September 2004, when uniform with purple and yellow tie was introduced. The move came after failed attempts in 2001 to introduce a uniform. Many parents and students dislike the uniform, due perhaps to issues with students losing their clip-on ties, all students must wear a Clip On Tie as of September 2011. Currently, year 7, 8 and 9 wear a yellow and purple tie, whilst years 10 and 11 wear a blue tie with the school logo. Years 12 and 13, the Sixth Formers are allowed to wear their own clothing.
The school gained publicity in March 2009 when a pupil was questioned by police after bringing a stun gun onto the site and three fellow students were zapped.
At the beginning of the 2012 term, Dr Jim Ferguson retired and Chris Gabbett was appointed in his place.
In February 2017, the school announced [discussions about] the temporarily closure of the schools sixth form due to serious money budget issues. The Sixth Form is [suggested] to officially close in September of the same year. Following a four-week consultations, the Governing Body decided to recommend that the school sixth form remain open.
Trinity was founded as a liberal Catholic school. Teachers were called by their first names, and students didn't wear uniform. Since 1989, the school has become slightly less liberal, and in 2002 uniform was introduced, although many parents and pupils tried to protest this.
