65th of 104 primary schools in Liverpool we can score, 114 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.2/10 against 1,446 of them, against 3.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 48.0 · 16 | 40% | 0.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Holy Trinity Catholic Primary School
Overview
Holy Trinity Catholic Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are described as "safe and happy" and view the community as "one big family." The report highlights an "ambitious" curriculum and effective safeguarding, though it notes that curriculum clarity and SEND targets require refinement in specific areas.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate the school’s values, behaving with kindness and consideration, while staff maintain "high expectations" for behaviour and achievement.
- Reading is a clear priority, with staff delivering phonics "consistently well" and ensuring books are "well matched to the sounds that they know."
- Teachers effectively use assessment data to identify pupils falling behind, providing "effective extra catch-up sessions" to support their progress.
- Governors "carry out their statutory duties effectively," providing challenge and support to leaders to keep education quality as a priority.
- Staff feel "well supported and valued," with leaders prioritising their well-being and being mindful of workload.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, leaders must ensure "essential knowledge pupils must know and remember is clear" to prevent pupils from being hindered by excessive content.
- Leaders should ensure teachers identify specific learning steps for pupils with SEND, as current targets are "too broad" and make success "unachievable for some pupils."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture where staff are well trained to spot risks and leaders work closely with external agencies to support families.
