Chilton Trinity School is a coeducational secondary school located at Chilton Trinity, Bridgwater, Somerset, England.

Bridgwater was selected as the 1st town in the South West level[1] to be selected for the UK governments Building Schools for the Future initiative, which aimed to rebuild and renew nearly every secondary school in England.[2] Within Bridgwater, Building Schools for the Future was to develop all of the 4 secondary schools along with 2 special provision schools, Elmwood School and Penrose School at an expected cost of around £100 Million.[3] This included the complete relocation and rebuilding of a new school combining both the Haygrove and Penrose Schools.

In July 2010, several components of the scheme for Bridgwater schools were cancelled and others were still under discussion.[4]

Previously a foundation school administered by Somerset County Council, in September 2019 Chilton Trinity School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Clevedon Learning Trust.
