Trinity Academy is a coeducational Free School, established in 2014. ^[1] It is located in the Brixton area of the London Borough of Lambeth, England, ^[2] and caters for pupils aged 11 to 18. The school was judged to be Good by Ofsted in its first inspection in May 2017. ^[3]

Although Trinity Academy is not formally designated as a faith school, it has a Roman Catholic ethos. ^[4] One of the school's founders, former BBC broadcaster Dennis Sewell, has criticized the Catholic Education Service, for refusing to open any formally designated Catholic free schools due to the 50% rule which limits the number of places that can be reserved for Catholics. ^[5]

Since 2017, the school has been housed in a building next to South Bank University Sixth Form.^{[ citation needed ]}
