FUNDRAISING
I am delighted to let you know that our pupils and staff raised £3083.88 for Caritas during Lent. This money will help to support vulnerable children, young people and adults in our communities within the Salford Diocese. The Spring Fair on 8 May, which was organised by our PTFA, was a wonderful family event and raised over £550. Thank you to everyone involved.
FEAST DAY
On Friday 24 May pupils and staff are to celebrate the Feast Day of the Trinity. During the morning there will be a mass for each year group and other celebrations to mark this important feast.
NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
You will no doubt have read in the press of the phenomenal success of our Year 10 football team. Having won the Keighley Cup on 8 May, our boys went on to beat Winterbourne International Academy Bristol (5 – 0) at Pride Park in Derby in the Final of the English Schools’ Cup. They have worked hard to achieve this incredible feat and we are very proud of them. Click here for details.

Faith Life
As a Roman Catholic College it is conducted in accordance with the rites, practices and observances of the Roman Catholic Church. All pupils admitted are expected to take a full and active part in the religious life and the R.E. Curriculum of the college.
Our Catholic faith will influence all the work of the college as we strive to follow the gospel values of love, justice and concern for others
History
Blessed Trinity RC College, Burnley opened its doors on 1 September 2006. Our college was the outcome of an amalgamation of two single sex Catholic schools in the town – St Hilda’s and St Theodore’s.
We were extremely fortunate and privileged to be part of Lancashire’s successful BSF Project bid (Building Schools for the Future). Our diocese of Salford along with Lancashire Education Authority worked in very close partnership to plan this new school.
Mission
The Governors wish to establish Blessed Trinity as a centre of Catholic lifelong learning and seek to develop it as a community of faith.
We will aim to serve each other, the Church, our parents and the wider community. Our aim is to ensure that all are able to realise their aspirations, respect themselves and others and grow in the love of Christ.
We strive to develop young persons who are not only academically accomplished but who are also spiritually alert, culturally developed and able to contribute effectively as Christians in the communities in which they live.
