Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust

Who We Are: A Mission Beyond the Classroom

Trinity Catholic College is part of the Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust, a family of 38 schools, and two vibrant Sixth Form Colleges. With more than 12,300 students and 1,500 staff, NPCAT is now one of the largest multi-academy Trusts in the UK.  Our mission is simple yet profound: “Forming lives ready to face the future”.

Inspired by the spirit of Jesus Christ, our faith-based community is proudly inclusive. We welcome individuals of all beliefs, fostering a culture of mutual respect where every identity is celebrated. 

Proven Excellence & Professional Growth

We don’t just aim for high standards; we deliver them.

• The vast majority of our schools are graded ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by the Catholic Schools Inspectorate. 
• We do not merely aspire to high standards; we deliver them through a shared commitment to every child’s potential. The majority of Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust schools are currently graded "Good" or "Outstanding" under the previous framework, and we are proud to continue this trajectory under the new national standards.
• Most recently, two of our schools were among the first to be inspected under the new Ofsted framework, achieving the 'Expected Standard' and 'Strong Standard' respectively. This is a testament to our culture of continuous improvement
• National Leading CPD: We offer a comprehensive training journey from Initial Teacher Training (ITT) through to Executive Leadership (NPQEL).
• Supportive Ecosystem: Our Standards Team and Leaders across the Trust provide tailored coaching and mentoring, ensuring you have the tools to model outstanding practice.
