From expeditions to Buckingham Palace! 🏰✨ ​In the most recent half term, our 2025 and 2026 Gold #DofE achievers enjoyed an incredible Royal Garden Party to celebrate their achievements! ☀️ Hot weather, cupcakes, tea, palace gardens, and live music made for the perfect, relaxed celebration. ​The students were treated to inspiring speeches from Prince Edward and Olympian Dame Kelly Holmes, reminding everyone just how much of a positive and impressive success achieving the Gold Award really is. ​It was fantastic for our very own Dr Anning to attend alongside our students as well as catching up with our alumni and their families. We are incredibly proud of you all! 🎓👏 ​#GoldDofE #DukeOfEdinburgh #BuckinghamPalace #Inspiration

How is technology shaping the future of criminology? Our Sixth Formers found out today! 💡🧠 ​We were thrilled to host the VIPER team today, an organisation within the West Yorkshire Police, who are at the forefront of digital identification line-ups for witnesses. Students didn't just learn about the strategy; they spoke with the staff about its massive significance in advancing the legal system and reducing stress for victims and witnesses. ​The VIPER team is currently looking for volunteers from all walks of life to participate! This includes different ages, genders, and ethnicities to help build a comprehensive, fair database. We are proud of all of our students who stepped up today to experience this firsthand! 👏 #tsfa #trinitysixthformacademy #criminology #crimeandjustice

Here, they visited the renowned Romeo and Juliet balcony ❤️ and the arena that hosted the 2026 Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony. 🏅 Over the last two days, the students have visited the stunning village of Pergenie where they returned to work placements. Our students have been delivering skills and activities in different sports whilst making new friends with the Italian students. Finally, tomorrow the students are heading to Levico to visit Forte Benne and explore another beautiful village before the trips end! We would like to wholeheartedly thank our hosts at Ostello Sportivo and our host schools for allowing our students this incredible once in a lifetime opportunity! 👏

Throughout the entirety of last week, members of our Pupil Leadership Group displayed their courage and public speaking skills in Trinity +. They all delivered personal pitches to the entire of their House community to hopefully be elected as House Captain. This is a huge achievement for all who put themselves forward! 😄 An extra well done to those students who were successfully voted in as the representative House Captain for their house! 👏👏 This is a significant milestone, as these individuals now have the opportunity to put themselves forward for the titles of Head Student which they will begin campaigning for soon. Our new captains are identifiable by their pink lanyards and are ready to lead with determination and serve as the representative of their House within the TSFA community. ​We look forward to seeing the impact you will make in your new roles! ✨ #trinitysixthformacademy ​#StudentLeadership #CollegeCommunity #HouseCaptains #FutureLeaders

Today, TSFA got a dose of doggo cuddles thanks to a visit from the RSPCA. The star of the show was definitely Fudge, a gorgeous RSPCA rescue who showed us all exactly why adoption is so special. 🐶✨ ​Fudge's visit brought awareness about how to support the incredible work the RSPCA does every day. From the adoption process to local fundraising events for the animals in their care; there are so many ways to give support and care to these animals! ​In addition, our Charity PLG team was out in full force hosting a tasty bake sale to keep the momentum going! They were selling sweet treats to raise additional funds so thanks to everyone who stopped by for a treat—your donations are heading straight to the RSPCA to help more dogs just like Fudge find their forever homes. 🍰 Thank you so much to @rspca_halifaxhuddsbradford for stopping by with the lovely Fudge today! ​Here's how you can help further: ​Adopt, don't shop: Check out your local RSPCA center. ​Donate: Every penny helps provide food and medical care. ​Volunteer: Give your time to animals in need! ​#RSPCA #trinitysixthformacademy #CharityBakeSale #RescueDog #FudgeTheDog
