Holy Trinity College Post 16 Open Day, Cookstown

What to Expect

Holy Trinity College in Cookstown opens its doors for a Post 16 open day on Thursday 20 August 2026, running from 9:30am to 2:30pm. The date falls in the week that A Level and GCSE results land in Northern Ireland, which is deliberate: it gives students who have just picked up their grades, and their parents, a chance to look properly at sixth form options before term starts rather than making a decision on the phone.

The day is built around the school’s A Level and BTEC provision along with its enrichment programme, so subject staff are on hand to talk through course content, entry requirements and combinations. For students moving from another school, or from a GCSE profile that did not land where they hoped, this kind of open day is the practical route into a conversation about what is still available. Holy Trinity College is a Catholic maintained 11 to 18 school serving Cookstown and the surrounding parishes, and the event was flagged through Cookstown Parish’s own bulletin as well as through the school. There is no charge and no ticket, and prospective students are welcome to drop in across the five-hour window rather than at a fixed time.
