Trinity Academy: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 47 families put Trinity Academy as their first choice and 145 named it as one of their preferences, for 78 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
Demand has been fairly steady: 49 first choices in 2021, against 47 in 2026.
Across Lambeth, 61% of families were offered their first-choice secondary school for 2026 entry, and 91% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Lambeth lodged 127 appeals against secondary school offers; 93 reached a hearing and 15 succeeded (16.1% of those heard).
