Trinity Academy
Trinity Academy is a new school being built in Bristol that will accommodate 900 students aged 11 to 16 as well as 320 sixth-form pupils. Skanska won the £23.3 million contract and will be working partnership with Bristol City Council and the Bristol Local Education Partnership (LEP). Trinity Academy is the latest in a series of education projects that have created over 15,000 secondary places for students in Bristol and more than 8,000 new primary places across the city.
The demand for school places in the south west is increasing and so Bristol City Council fully supports the LEP and its plan to build new schools and expanding existing ones. Trinity Academy is a good example of the partnership working and preparing the city for the future. Regeneration and growth of the local area means by investing in new education facilities, it will help ease the transition for local children from primary to secondary school.
Trinity Academy includes a 570 seater concert hall, a drama studio, dance studio, 4 court sports hall, 4 bespoke classrooms, 9 science laboratories, 4 general classrooms, a large library, a sixth form study and social areas, a Special Education Needs centre, and a large canteen area. During construction Easi-Edge are provided over 1300 LM of edge protection barriers for Skanska.
Trinity Academy is located in the Lockleaze area of Bristol and is one of three secondary schools in the Cathedrals Schools Trust, along with Bristol Cathedral Choir School and St Katherine's School. It is situated alongside Stoke Park Primary School.
