During the summer holidays, building work had been stepped up with
hundreds of contractors on site to make all of the necessary changes to convert
the old Trinity School buildings into Unity College. Not all of the investment work
is finished and there is still a long way to go. There was enough of the
new facilities in place to allow the school to open. Work on the famous
old Tower to bring it up to the latest standards has still to take place, and
facilities like the library have still to be built.
Unity College is a a Church of England school, which is designed to
house more than 1,200 pupils when complete. It is part of the Diocese of
Peterborough.
It was officially opened by the Bishop of Peterborough, the Rt Rev Ian Cundy,
on the 18th October 2004.
The school building programme continued, and new buildings have now
taken the place of all of the Old Trinity School buildings. These
were finally completed in early 2008, and on Friday 29th February 2008
the new school was dedicated by the Archbishop of York. The
Chronicle and Echo printed an article that day, which can be read by

It will open in a new window.
