57th of 63 primary schools in Lewisham we can score, 64 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 — 2.9/10 against 1,192 of them, against 2.4/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Church of England Primary School
Overview
Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils love their environment and talk with enthusiasm about learning opportunities. Leaders have made informed curriculum changes to ensure consistent teaching approaches, particularly in response to previous assessment data. The school fosters positive behaviour, strong community links, and effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate positive behaviour, respect school values, and support each other, with staff maintaining "high aspirations and expectations of all pupils."
- Staff provide "bespoke support" for SEND pupils, working closely with parents and local nurseries to ensure smooth transitions and success across the curriculum.
- The school places a "high priority on early reading," introducing a new phonics programme with full staff training to ensure a consistent approach.
- Leaders have addressed gaps in mathematics and writing by reviewing assessment information and implementing "bespoke catch-up sessions" to help pupils succeed.
- Pupils gain valuable life experiences through theatre visits, museum outings, and community work, while developing character and respect for others’ faiths and cultures.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, "curriculum thinking is still being developed," leading to gaps in pupils’ knowledge and understanding.
- The school needs to ensure the curriculum is "sequenced securely across all subjects, from early years to Year 6," to enable pupils to secure their understanding.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
