The School asserts that its main concerns are: 'academic excellence, good discipline and achievement in all the broader aspects of education within a happy and distinctively Catholic atmosphere'.

Its good academic results give it a high profile in the city, and places for the school will be limited.

The area has many secondary schools, with Bluecoat Beechdale Campus neighbouring to the west, and Nottingham Academy for Girls nearby to the east.

[2] The school converted to being an academy on 1 July 2012, and is no longer directly funded or governed by Nottingham City Council.

"Ad Dei Gloriam", their motto ("To the Glory of God"), sums up the driving ideology of the school.

In year 7 pupils are allocated into four different houses who compete against each other in a range of activities: most notably the annual athletics competition and sports day.

The school's Orchestra classes, which are a Trinity signature, offer every student in years 7 to 9 the ability to learn and play an instrument.

The threat of funding cuts prompted ex-student Sheku Kanneh-Mason to donate £3,000[8] to save cello tuition at the school in 2017.

"[9] In 2020 former Trinity student Jacob Fowler, won the BBC Two TV show Little Mix: The Search with his band Since September.

GCSE results have steadily improved, not just 5 A* to C benchmarks but also the numbers of higher grades including English and Maths.

This is coupled with excellent extra-curricular achievements in music, sport and adventure training which demonstrate the tenacity and ambition of the school.

The school enjoys good support from parents and fosters excellent relationships with pupils, as is reflected and evidenced in the most recent Ofsted report of November 2008.

Assistant Headteachers are Rupert Bennett, Caroline McGrath, Steven Wadsley and Dan Kelly.
