Blessed Trinity RC College is a mixed 11-16 voluntary-aided Roman Catholic faith school in Burnley, Lancashire, England, with specialist status as a Humanities College and Sports College.

The school opened in September 2006 as part of ambitious plan to replace all of the district’s 11-16 schools, funded by a government public–private partnership programme called Building Schools for the Future. It was formed from the merger of St Theodore's Boys High School and St Hilda's Girls' High School and initially occupied spit sites of the former St Hilda's and Habergham Sixth Form Centre.
St Theodore's RC High School was a boy 11-16 school with a mixed sixth form.
St Hilda's RC High School was a girls high school.
Following an OFSTED inspection in 2008 Blessed Trinity was awarded the status of a "good school, with outstanding elements".[1]
Demolition started on the former St Theodore's site in June 2008, and the School moved into a new £24m building, in September 2010.[2] The new college will initially hold approximately 1000 students and will eventually hold a 1250 capacity.

In 2007 the school's value-added measure was 1006.7 (national average 1000).[3] In 2010 the school was again the highest performing in the borough in terms of GCSE results.[4] The DfE figures released in January 2011 show Blessed Trinity to be the only school in Burnley where more than half the pupils achieved five good GCSE passes including English and maths.[5]
