We’re delighted to announce our Trinity Champion Centres for 2025-2026! This year there are 24 in total for Music & Drama, from a range of sectors including: arts and culture, music services, youth and community and performing arts academies. In this blog we discuss what a Champion Centre is, how we collaborate, and introduce all our new centres!
What are Trinity Champion Centres?
Trinity Champion Centres inspire existing and potential centres by sharing their practice and advocating for Trinity College London qualifications in their communities and more widely. In return, we celebrate achievements, profile their success and promote their work as part of our support offer to teachers and centres.
Champion Centres are recognised by Trinity for their successful delivery of our qualifications. Ways in which this success could be demonstrated include: strong exam results, an exciting programme of performance events, impact on learners or innovation in the performing arts. Centres are given opportunities to showcase their creative offer throughout the year – for instance in blogs, webinars, and marketing campaigns.
