Administrative history
The first Stirling Episcopal School was situated in Baker Street and held 90 pupils. In 1854, funds were raised to purchase a property in St Mary Wynd to house 120 pupils in a new episcopal school.
The introduction of the Education (Scotland) Act in 1872 offered the school the opportunity to join the state system under the management of a School Board. This offer was declined with concerns of church teaching practices being absent under the Act.
The Education (Scotland) Act 1918 offered the Holy Trinity Episocpal School better terms that the 1872 Act had done. The School was transferred to Stirling County Council who would meet all expenses. The Vestry could also guarantee that appointed teachers would be qualified to give the Episcopalian religious education.
In 1935, a decision was agreed between the Rector and the Director of Education that the Advanced Division of the Day School should be transferred to Riverside where better facilities would be available.
In 2005, the school was closed and pupils sent to Allan's, Raploch and Riverside schools. The school building was completely refurbished to provide accommodation for homeless people.
