Wakefield Trinity Community Foundation launch TRINITY EDUCATION!!

Wakefield Trinity Community Foundation is delighted to launch Trinity Education, an all-new strand situated within the charitable organisation.

Trinity Education, led by Head of Education & Training, Luke Shale, will consist of five sub-sections that will all be operating under the same umbrella. These new brands will include School Sports Partnership (formally known as Wakefield SSP), Adult Education, Trainee & Apprenticeships, Rugby League and STREAM Education.

As a local Charity that has inspired and engaged people of all ages for some 15 years, we aim to use the brand of Wakefield Trinity to educate and develop our communities. Our impact is recognised by thousands of local residents, largely young impressionable youths, through our existing work. The introduction of Trinity Education is a natural expansion to further support our mission to make a positive difference.

The educational strands

  • Established in 2018, the School Sport Partnership works within Primary Schools to develop opportunities in Physical Education, School Sport and Physical Activity
  • This academic year, our SSP department has moved from a casual staff model, to a full-time PE Specialist model, working towards our own, freshly developed PE curriculum
  • Our SSP currently supports 20 schools situated across Outwood Grange Academies Trust and Bishop Konstant Catholic Academies Trust
  • STREAM Education (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art & Maths) works alongside our partners to put a modern twist on our curriculum, which incorporates both Rugby League and Football - with a link back to coding and Engineering
  • With the use of new and exciting technology, in the form of small robots, children and young people will be able to explore and experience new, amazing opportunities
  • Under Trinity Education, the Foundation have looked to cover all ages, with a key part of this being the Traineeship & Apprenticeship program, which will include a variety of different courses
  • The main aim of this department is to allow the opportunity for young people, typically aged between the ages of 16-24, the chance to develop their CV using work experience opportunities provided internally and externally throughout
  • Due to the Sky Try project coming to an end at the end of this academic year, Trinity Education were keen not to lose what has been built up over the past couple of years in relation to our Rugby League involvement
  • We have now secured a long-term plan to increase the development and participation in Rugby League throughout schools.
  • Through this section, we want to introduce young people to the sport of Rugby League. Whether that may be as a fan of Wakefield Trinity, playing in a park with friends or joining a local Community Team
  • Over 10,000 people in the Wakefield district are unemployed.
  • From September 2021 we will aim to provide a range of short-courses and employability qualifications to support adults (19+) back into employment or education
  • Whether you want to retrain or develop your existing skills, perhaps Wakefield Trinity can support you along the way
