Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
7.3/10 Above average

37th of 84 primary schools in Barnet we can score, 92 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 — 9.2/10 against 3,131 of them, against 8.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

What Ofsted said about Holy Trinity CofE Primary School

Inspection report dated 10 September 2024

Overview

Holy Trinity CofE Primary School is described as a “very happy school community” where pupils’ behaviour and attitudes are “exemplary.” The report highlights that the school has “high aspirations for all” pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and that staff morale is high with leaders being “considerate of their welfare.”

Strengths

  • Pupils demonstrate “exemplary” behaviour, are “respectful of all,” and actively contribute to a safe environment through ambassador roles.
  • Reading is prioritised effectively; staff are well-trained in phonics, and pupils become “keen, confident and fluent readers.”
  • Provision for pupils with SEND is “well established,” with bespoke curricula and strong collaboration with parents and external agencies.
  • The governing body provides “high levels of support and challenge,” maintaining a clear vision for continuous improvement.
  • Staff enjoy working at the school, noting they are “well motivated to teach their best” due to positive leadership and team culture.

Areas to improve

  • Improve outdoor early years provision to replicate the “high-quality approaches” found in indoor classrooms.
  • Strengthen subject leadership and teaching expertise in a few wider curriculum subjects where pupils “do not routinely achieve as well as they could.”
  • Ensure consistent assessment of pupils’ knowledge to identify and address gaps across all subjects, particularly for SEND pupils.

Safeguarding

The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
