History
Originally the school which became Sowerby Bridge High School, then later Trinity Academy Grammar, existed in conjunction with the Sowerby Bridge Technical Institute in the Town Hall Chambers on Wharf Street in Sowerby Bridge.[4][failed verification] In 1905 the new school on Albert Road was opened at Sowerby Bridge Secondary School. This later became Sowerby Bridge Grammar School.[3][5]
In 1980 the school reverted from its Grammar School status to a High School. Sowerby Bridge High School was assessed by Ofsted throughout the 2000s and 2010s which showed a downfall in standards at the School until, on 18 October 2016, the School was deemed inadequate and thereafter closed on 30 September 2018[6] in late 2018 the school was placed under Trinity Multi-Academy Trust and renamed Trinity Academy Sowerby Bridge.[7] In 2021 the school was renamed Trinity Academy Grammar.[8] As of July 2022 no further Ofsted report has been carried out.
