54th of 60 primary schools in Walsall we can score, 85 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 the 3,752 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.4/10 among them, against 0.9/10 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 | 41.0 · 9 | 40% | 0.35 |
| 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’ well-being and care are central to the ethos. The inspection found that children are courteous, enjoy learning, and benefit from strong relationships with staff and an ambitious curriculum centred on ‘adventures’.
Strengths
- Pupils’ behaviour is described as “excellent”, with bullying being “very rare” and staff dealing with issues quickly.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are “exceptionally well supported” through bespoke interventions and strong family relationships.
- Reading is a priority, with a “sequenced effectively” curriculum that ensures pupils become “fluent readers” through swift interventions.
- The school’s Christian ethos and personal development activities help pupils understand different cultures and feel “well prepared for life in modern Britain”.
- Staff are proud of their work, believing leaders care about their “workload and well-being”.
Areas to improve
- In a few foundation subjects, learning is “not as well sequenced as it could be”, leading to inconsistent messages for teachers about what to teach and when.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff highly trained to spot risks and act quickly to ensure every pupil is safe and well.
