Welcome to the last This is Trinity update of the year! The year drawing to a close is a natural time for reflection, and with that in mind, this month we're celebrating achievement from across Trinity's community.

Whether through our success stories of candidates, alumni teachers and parents, our Trinity Champion Centres or Access Fund recipients, we're highlighting the people and organisations who have reached new heights. We're also offering resources to help you maximise your teaching success, from our tool to help you uncover the impact of your arts enrichment programmes, to our guide to Gold Arts Award.

So why not take a moment for a well-deserved break and connect with the warming tales and helpful resources on offer via our This is Trinity resource this month.

Trinity success stories

There's plenty of inspiration and renewed motivation available via the stories of successful candidates, teachers and parents from around the world on Trinity's website. You can also read about the high-profile careers of Trinity's alumni in the form of our Professional Performing Arts Diploma graduates. And why not encourage young people you work with to head over to the Voice website to be inspired by our most recent TrinityTalent Class; successful candidates drawn from the full range of Trinity's arts assessments including music, drama and Arts Award.

Organisations supporting achievement

Did you know that each year we select a variety of organisations who deliver Trinity's music, drama and Arts Award qualifications to become Trinity Champion Centres? Meet the organisations making up the 2022-23 cohort and learn more about our Champion Centres programme.

We also support a range of organisations and candidates through our Access Fund grants, allowing individuals who would otherwise face barriers to accessing arts opportunities to achieve Trinity qualifications. Find out more about the impact of the programme on the musical achievements of candidates supported by a centre in receipt of the grant.

Teaching resources

Here at Trinity we are all about supporting teachers to enable their candidates to achieve the best possible outcomes. And so we are pleased to bring you our guide to Gold Arts Award - the highest level in the suite of Arts Award qualifications with UCAS points attached. We hope the guide enables you to assess whether this advanced level arts qualification is right for your students and have a clear insight into what it could offer your centre. We also have on offer for school-based teachers our tool for assessing the impact of your enrichment programmes.

We hope this month's 'This is Trinity' resource supports you to reflect on the successes in your own centre this year and to make plans for your ongoing delivery of Trinity assessments.
