Trinity High School was a mixed school for
pupils that passed the 11-plus exam, but who had a preference
for more technical or commercial education. This website traces the history of the school and includes a wealth of memories, lots of pictures of life at Trinity High newspaper cuttings and other material from the '40s, '50s, '60s and '70s. |

Originally The Technical High School, it became Trinity High School, and finally Trinity Grammar School during this period, so anyone who attended the school in Trinity Avenue, Northampton, under any of these names should enjoy using this site, since most of the material relates to the period up to 1974. There is also news of later years, so any former pupils or anyone else with an interest in the school should find it fascinating too. There is a section for news, photos etc, from the period after 1974 when it became Trinity School. The school continued as a comprehensive until it closed on the 9th July 2004. After extensive new building work it reopened as Unity College, a Church of England school, in September 2004. The original development plan had been to refurbish all of the old Trinity buildings, including the famous tower, but in April 2005 the plan changed and it was decided to demolish all of the old buildings and replace them with new ones. Demolition began at the beginning of August 2005 and was complete within less than a month. There is now nothing remaining of the old Trinity School. The school changed again, and is now the Malcolm Arnold Academy. |
