Destinations & Our Alumni
The impact of the quality of education that TSFA students receive can be seen in the destinations data, which is well above national average.
- In 2024, every student who wished to attend university secured a place and over 80% of those who applied were accepted at their first choice institution.
- Although university uptake has remained stable for the past 3 years, less emphasis is being placed solely on progression to HE, with the creation of better apprenticeships and the links TSFA is creating with local businesses.
- Since 2017, there have been 9 students who have gone on to study at Oxford or Cambridge and 6 students who have gone on to study medicine or dentistry.

Our Alumni
Oliver Henderson
At Trinity 6th form I studied: Computer Science, Psychology and Mathematics and now I'm currently studying Computer Science at the University of Leeds. I'm really enjoying my time at university and would really recommend it to anyone who is considering going to university. My guidance to current students is to take the opportunities offered to them and work out what study style works for them earlier rather than leaving it last minute.
Jack Hartley
I studied A-level History, A-level Chemistry and A-level Psychology at Trinity Sixth Form Academy from 2022 to 2024. My studies at TSFA led me to achieve AAA in my exams and move on to study BA History at the University of Leeds. Studying at Leeds has been an amazing experience so far; one that I would recommend to anyone- especially those that want to study history. My advice for any year 12's and 13's- or anyone else for that matter- is to study the subjects that you like and that you enjoy, not ones you believe you need to do; as if you enjoy your studies it will make life so much easier. As well, set up a revision time-table and stick to it (it may be boring but it is worth it).
Imaan Ali
At TSFA I studied English Language, Economics, Business A-levels and received A, A*, A*.
I am currently am doing a Degree Apprenticeship in Accountancy with an accountancy firm in Bingley. My advice for the future is that there will always be bumps in the road and nothing comes easy, it will be hard. But this is how you achieve success; you have to keep on trying and it will always pay off.
Olivia Duane
Olivia studied History, English Language and Psychology A-Levels at Trinity Sixth Form Academy, concluding in summer 2024. She is now heading for an exciting future with the Royal Navy, after completing her basic training with HMS Raleigh – a 10 week training package that turned her from civilian to sailor. Olivia’s highlights of basic training include creating a tight bond with other personnel and developing her own physical fitness. She is looking forward to travelling to new places and hopes to make positive changes and inspire more females to join the submariners.

After gaining my A levels in History, French and English Literature and leaving 6th form, I went to study law at St John’s College, University of Cambridge. Having joined in 2019, I am just completing my first year and I’ve really enjoyed it.
Joely Knight
I attended Trinity Academy Halifax sixth form from 2015-2017. I studied art, photography and health and social care. Health and social care created the foundations for my career. I am employed at a local hospital Trust as a Trainee Nursing Associate, and funded to study the foundation degree at University. I hope many others can be inspired to work in the healthcare sector, as it is the most rewarding job ever!
