Trinity Catholic School is a secondary school in Leamington Spa, England. Trinity is well known for its liberal ethos (started by Peter Hastings), where students call teachers by their first names. Students wore their own clothes until September 2004, when uniform with purple and yellow tie was introduced. The move came after failed attempts in 2001 to introduce a uniform. Currently, year 7, 8 and 9 wear a yellow and purple tie, whilst years 10 and 11 wear a blue tie.

- Trinity Catholic School is a secondary school in Leamington Spa, England. Trinity is well known for its liberal ethos (started by Peter Hastings), where students call teachers by their first names. Students wore their own clothes until September 2004, when uniform with purple and yellow tie was introduced. The move came after failed attempts in 2001 to introduce a uniform. Currently, year 7, 8 and 9 wear a yellow and purple tie, whilst years 10 and 11 wear a blue tie. This is to distinguish between the GCSE students from the key stage three students. In 1986 there was a mass protest by parents and students when the whole of the board of governors was sacked over the Christmas holidays; the obvious reason being the imminent retirement of the school's maverick 'creator' and head, Peter Hastings. Peter had somehow created a school with a great atmosphere of discipline through responsibility - the manifestation of which involved no uniform, and the addressing of teachers by their first name. This ethos did not suit the ideas of the Catholic diocese in 1986, and they saw a way to appoint the successor of their choice by appointing their own hand-picked governors. The signing of a petition by virtually all parents by January and the strong opinions of teachers, pupils and parents eventually created a truce of sorts, and an agreed successor was appointed, although many missed the slightly idiosyncratic, but inspirational leadership of Peter Hastings. The school has both Technology and Arts status and had been awarded Arts Mark Gold award. It is known for its superb Special Needs department and has been commended on its excellent modern language teaching. The school has a Sixth Form College on site. Until recently the School was on two separate sites: Dormer Hall on Myton Road in Warwick, and Bishop Bright Hall/Freeman Hall on Guy's Cliffe Avenue in Leamington Spa. However, in September 2005, after a multi-million pound extension, Trinity moved to a single site at Guy's Cliffe Avenue in Leamington Spa, The school gained unwanted publicity in March 2009 when a pupil was arrested after shooting at fellow pupils with a stun gun. When questioned, the boy replied "Jim told me to".
