Giving Day 2022

We are delighted to announce that Trinity Gives 2022 raised over £58,000 in gifts from the global Trinity family of parents, alumni, staff and friends. All the money raised will be spent on life-changing bursaries for new students and we look forward to welcoming these children to our school.

The parent body funded four terms of a new Sixth Form bursary to be awarded to a female student joining us this September in celebration of 10 years of girls at the school.

Our students, staff and parents ran, cycled, swam and rowed the entire length of the country - covering the distance from Land’s End to John o’ Groats and a significant part of the journey back again!

The Art on a Postcard exhibition at the Cube Gallery, Fairfield Halls, which involved the wider Croydon community, including Whitgift Care Home residents as well as our Art alumni, staff, student and parent communities.

For our older alumni, Pembroke won the first house competition held in 25 years and we received marvellous support from the Trinity Club with a £4,000 donation towards bursaries in our Sixth Form.

Despite the difficult economic times we were deeply grateful for the generous response we received and the demonstrable desire our Trinity Community has to help others. Means-tested bursaries are a way of disrupting the pattern of structural inequality in local educational provision and ensuring that Trinity remains a balanced, inclusive and grounded school for all its students. The Trinity Bursary Fund is core to our central ethos of remaining accessible to a broad range of families and your donations have helped us play our part in closing the gap between educational opportunity and achievement in Croydon.
