Academy in Burnley, Lancashire, England
Blessed Trinity Roman Catholic College is a coeducational Roman Catholic secondary school located in Burnley , Lancashire , England.
History [ edit ]
The school opened in 2006 as part of ambitious plan to replace all of the district's 11 to 16 schools, funded by a government public–private partnership programme called Building Schools for the Future . It was formed from the merger of St Theodore's Boys High School and St Hilda's Girls' High School and initially occupied split sites of the former St Hilda's and Habergham Sixth Form Centre. Bernadette Bleasdale, who had been the head of St Hilda's since 1992, became the new school's first head teacher.[1]
Former schools [ edit ]
St Theodore's RC High School was a boys' 11 to 16 school with a mixed sixth form.
St Hilda's RC High School was a girls' high school, which originally opened in 1954.[2]
History [ edit ]
Following an inspection by Ofsted in 2008, Blessed Trinity was awarded the status of a "good school, with outstanding elements".[3]
Shortly after Ofsted placed the school in special measures in 2011, Bleasdale announced her retirement.[1] [4]
Following an inspection by Ofsted in 2023, Blessed Trinity was awarded the status of "improvement needed, with issues in the quality of education and leadership/management ".[5]
New building [ edit ]
Demolition started on the former St Theodore's site in 2008, and the school moved into a new £24m building in 2010.[6]
Academy [ edit ]
Previously a voluntary aided school administered by Lancashire County Council , Blessed Trinity converted to academy status in 2020. The school is now sponsored by the Romero Catholic Academy Trust.
Attainment [ edit ]
