St. Augustine's Catholic College is a Catholic academy secondary school in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England, with a sixth form for years 12 and 13.

Contents

The school opened on its current site in the western suburbs of Trowbridge in 1967. [2] Formerly a voluntary aided school, it became an academy in September 2011.

Following an inspection by Ofsted in November 2021, the school's assessment was 'requires improvement' in all categories. [3] This was its first inspection after converting to an academy; the academy inherited an 'outstanding' rating from its predecessor and was therefore exempt from inspection for some time. [3] The 2021 report stated that pupils "feel safe, attend punctually and behave well in lessons," but noted that "the curriculum is not planned or taught well enough for students to achieve as well as they should." [3]
