Trinity Academy is a state-run secondary school in the north of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is located on the border between Trinity and Leith, next to Victoria Park, and a short distance from the banks of the Firth of Forth at Newhaven.




Admissions


Trinity Academy was formerly a fee paying, selective senior secondary school, prior to the abolition of the Selective Qualifying Exam, which was normally taken in Primary 7 at age 11 or 12 years. It is now a non-selective, comprehensive school, and receives most of its first year pupils from three local 'feeder' primary schools; Trinity Primary
(which is immediately adjacent), Victoria Primary in Newhaven, and Wardie Primary in Wardie.




History


The school was designed in 1891 by George Craig, a Leith architect for the Leith School Board.




Rugby



Trinity Academy's first XV rugby team won Rugby World Team of the Month in November 2005 after an unbeaten run including away wins at George Heriot's, Glenalmond and Hutchison Grammar School.
Bangholm sports ground is also home to the Trinity Academicals Rugby Football Club.
