About us
Trinity High School and Sixth Form Centre is a mixed, non-selective, non-denominational secondary school with sixth form in Worcestershire, serving students from the age of 13-18. The secondary school, situated in Redditch has approximately 950 students on roll.
Formerly Redditch County High School, the school opened in 1932, being renamed to Abbey High School in 1974 when it changed from a grammar to a comprehensive school. The school reopened as Trinity High School and Sixth Form Centre in 2001, and in the same year converted to academy status.
The school is a very special place and visitors are always impressed by the warm, friendly, and highly positive relationships that exist between staff and students and between themselves. We are a friendly and caring community where students are encouraged to aim high, embrace challenge and develop resilience so that they can realise their talents and create their futures.

Ofsted
Our most recent Ofsted report concludes that the overall effectiveness for the school is GOOD, and the school is GOOD in most areas of the framework, specifically Quality of Education, Personal Development, Behaviour and Attitudes and Sixth Form Provision.
However, we are also thrilled that Ofsted judged LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT to be OUTSTANDING, which is an incredible achievement.
There are many highlights in the report, but we are particularly pleased that Ofsted found evidence to demonstrate that; ‘the school is very well led. Leaders have accurately identified the school’s strengths and determined how to address any weaknesses. They have worked diligently on improvements in a relatively short period’.
Comments regarding the outstanding leadership and management in the school feature heavily in the report and we are delighted that Ofsted acknowledge how much the school has improved in a short space of time.
However, there are also many other fantastic highlights such as the comments about our school culture;
“The school’s ‘HEART’ values of happiness, excellence, ambition, respect, and tolerance permeate through all aspects of school life. Pupils are respectful and polite and show positive attitudes. They enjoy their lessons and are focused on their learning. In social time, they enjoy time with their friends and behave well”.
There are some lovely comments relating to the quality of education that students receive at Trinity and how students behave.
“Teachers have strong subject knowledge. They plan lessons carefully so all pupils can learn effectively. Teachers ensure that knowledge and concepts are broken down into small parts. In lessons, they provide pupils with interesting and engaging activities. These support pupils’ understanding well”.
“Expectations for pupils’ behaviour and attitudes are high. The school’s ethos weaves through the strategies to support pupils in managing their own behaviour”.
