Trinity Catholic High School is a co-educational, Catholic comprehensive school located in Woodford Green, Greater London, England. It is split between two sites, with Upper Site (Main Site) on Mornington Road and the Lower Site on Sydney Road. Upper Site is split into different houses: Trinity House, Keswick House, Rackham House, Monteluce House, Pelham House, Grainger House, St Joseph's House, Vincent House and Becket House. Lower Site is just one building, but with a remote science laboratory in the playground called the Padua Centre (named after St Anthony of Padua). There are approximately 1750 pupils, with each year of 240 pupils divided into eight form classes. For over 30 years, the Headmaster has been Dr Paul C. Doherty. The school's motto is based on Christ's maxim: "Love each other as we love ourselves". The school was formed after the amalgamation of two schools in 1976, Holy Family Convent School (now Upper Site) and St Paul's Catholic Secondary School (now Lower Site).^[1]

The school in Mornington Road, Woodford Green, scored maximum possible marks in 22 out of 25 categories with an inspection team who spent two days in the school at the start of this month. In their report, inspectors wrote: "There is a clear vision and a hunger for improvement, building on the school's record of outstanding success. The outstanding and consistent leadership of the headmaster over a quarter of a century is complemented by the exceptional management of senior and middle leaders."^[5] The report noted that a high proportion of students gained the highest grades at GCSE and that progress made by students who joined the sixth form with lower grades was particularly good. Headteacher Paul Doherty wrote: "My warmest congratulations to all for a marvellous and truly outstanding outcome."
