[Trinity After 1974] |
 After 1974 the Tower magazine was replaced by Insight. As
it was produced on a stencilling machine, the print is very feint
and it does not copy well. This was published until 1978,
and then there was a period of 10 years where there is no record in the
school archives of any magazine. In 1988 a new publication
simply called the "Northampton Trinity School Newsletter"
began. In
1993 this was replaced by "Trinity News". Trinity News was
different from its predecessors. This was a frequent
publication. At times it was published monthly, and then at
others it appears to have been less frequent. Trinity News had
several formats before the last ever edition in July 2004.
 Magazines that are
available in this section can be found by clicking on the links

archives have now been added, and below is a summary of the material
