On the 2nd September 2004 the new school opened its doors for the first
time. It is now a Church of England School, under the Diocese of
Peterborough. It provides Church of England Secondary Education
in Northampton for the first time. After much work and planning,
Trinity had finally become Unity College. A school
designed for 1,200 11 - 18 year old pupils.
During the summer holidays, building work had been stepped up with
hundreds of contractors on site to make all of the necessary changes to convert
the old Trinity School buildings into Unity College. Not all of the investment work
is finished and there is still a long way to go. There was enough of the
new facilities in place to allow the school to open. Work on the famous
old Tower to bring it up to the latest standards has still to take place, and
facilities like the library have still to be built.
Unity College is a a Church of England school, which is designed to
house more than 1,200 pupils when complete. It is part of the Diocese of
Peterborough.
