Trinity Academy St Edward's

Due to an increase in population in Barnsley, particularly in young people of school age, the need for a new secondary school is prevalent. In 2019, Trinity Multi Academy Trust was selected by the Department for Education as the sponsor for a brand-new school.

Trinity MAT is proud to have transformed the life chances of thousands of pupils across its existing academies, and we are equipped and eager to do the same for those in Barnsley. Our MAT core values of Empathy, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility run through all aspects of academy life. We welcome students of all faiths and none, these values relate to everyone regardless of faith or background.

Drawing from the success and expertise of organisations across our high performing MAT, we will ensure that children are supported both academically and pastorally to secure the brightest of futures.

Our secondary schools consistently achieve academic results which place them in the top 10% of highest performing schools in the country and receive national and international recognition for the quality of their provision. This success will be replicated at Trinity Academy St Edward's where every young person will benefit from outstanding teaching and an inspirational curriculum.

Trinity Academy St Edward's will open in September 2021, initially for 180 year 7 students. The academy will be in a new modern building, designed to the highest specification using the latest technology to provide the very best of educational facilities.

The school will serve communities from across Barnsley and no matter the starting point of our children we will raise their aspirations and change their futures by achieving outstanding outcomes and creating life long memories. Our broad and balanced curriculum, with a STEM focus, will open our pupils’ eyes to what the world can offer and a genuinely wide ranging extra-curricular experiences will dovetail this.
