Trinity School is an evangelical Christian school that opened in September 1978. When first established, the school was situated in small premises in Mottram, Cheshire. In 1981, the school expanded to provide secondary education and in 1985, moved to Birbeck Street, Stalybridge. Pupils from nursery to Year 6, moved to a building nearby in 1995 and from September 2008, all pupils from 3 to 16 years, will be accommodated on the one site at Birbeck Street. Funded nursery education is provided for children over three years and under five years of age. This provision is registered with Ofsted’s Early Years Directorate and was last inspected by a childcare inspector in July 2000 when a report was published. Trinity School was last inspected in March 2002. The school aims are ‘to provide a Christian education by approaching the curriculum, teaching discipline and school organisation from a Biblical standpoint. This is because we believe the Bible to be the Word of God to us and thus relevant to every aspect of life. In other words, we seek to subject the whole life of the school to the demands of God's word.’ Evaluation of the school Trinity School successfully meets its aims. It provides a good quality of education for its pupils. Provision for pupils’ personal, social, spiritual and cultural development is good; provision for welfare, health and safety is satisfactory. Pupils’ behaviour is good. Pupils develop in confidence and make good progress in all aspects of school life. The vast majority of parents are positive about the school.
