Trinity Academy (formerly Holy Trinity Church of England Senior School) is a church aided 11 to 18 co-educational academy school in the Diocese of Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England.
The school was founded in the 1815 by the then Vicar of Halifax. The school was situated at Savile Hall, the former home of Lord Savile, in the centre of Halifax and since has moved to Illingworth, in the north of Halifax, where it sits in the locality of other secondary schools, including North Halifax Grammar School and St Catherine's Catholic High School.
Trinity Academy shares its Sixth Form with Saint Catherine's. The school is involved with Campus Calderdale, a collaborative project with the other secondary schools in the area.
The school became a specialist Business and Enterprise College in 2005. In 2007, it also gained the Quality Standard for Careers Education and Guidance and the Healthy School's Award.
Academy
In July 2010 Holy Trinity Senior School closed, and the school site became part of the Trinity Academy. Students at Holy Trinity were automatically entitled to a place at the new Academy. Trinity Academy can cater for 1500 male and female pupils, aged 11 – 19 (including 300 in the sixth form). The academy admit children of all, or no, faiths, however a proportion of places are reserved for children linked to local churches.
