Groundbreaking ceremony at Trinity Academy

Work is now underway on Trinity Academy, a brand new £25 million secondary school building in Lockleaze. It will grow year-on-year and aims for an eventual capacity of 1,220 students - 180 students per year with provision for a sixth form. It is scheduled for completion by September 2021. To mark the start of construction work, Mrs Peaches Golding OBE, Her Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant for Bristol, joined students, staff and governors from Trinity Academy and other guests at a ceremonial groundbreaking event.  Head teacher of Trinity Academy Eiron Bailey said: 'it is a great moment for us as a school, but also for the wider community, to start work on this exciting building which will be used by students and families. Trinity Academy is a specialist school for music and performing arts. The aim is for the new school building to include a concert hall, music practice room and a variety of performance spaces that can be used by pupils and other arts organisations, orchestras and ensembles in the region.  The first year intake of Trinity Academy joined Peaches for a commemorative photograph.
