What the school offers its staff

Trinity Catholic High School is a large Catholic comprehensive school situated in the London Borough of Redbridge and within the Diocese of Brentwood. Highly regarded in the area, we have a reputation for excellence in all aspects of our service to the children in our school and the wider community. Many of our staff are long-serving; 10 years plus, which highlights their happiness and commitment to the school. Many ex-students choose our school to support their own children because of their own positive experiences here. The highest standards relating to Teaching and Learning are a feature of daily life at Trinity and these significantly and positively impact student progress and attainment which are demonstrated by our excellent exam results. Trinity’s most recent Catholic Schools Inspection report (January 2020) states that “Trinity Catholic High School is an outstanding school and a beacon of high-quality Catholic education. It has an excellent reputation in the local community and beyond and it is rightly seen as a flagship school for the Diocese of Brentwood”. The report also emphasises that “Catholic life at Trinity Catholic High School is outstanding and is of the highest quality” and “Every aspect of Collective Worship at the school is outstanding".
