Check the area around this school
48th of 84 primary schools in Sandwell we can score, 93 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 1,749 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| 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 CofE Primary School
Overview
Holy Trinity CofE Primary School is described as a "happy and inclusive school" where a "strong Christian ethos" fosters "highly positive relationships" and mutual respect. Leaders maintain high expectations, resulting in pupils who are "polite and well mannered" and who engage enthusiastically in a broad curriculum that includes clubs, residential visits, and nature-based activities.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate excellent behaviour and are "highly valued" within a community that prioritises belonging and personal development.
- Reading is a "high priority," with a "well planned" phonics programme and effective support for those falling behind.
- Teachers show a "good understanding" of core subjects, particularly writing and mathematics, where pupils are proud of their work.
- Staff receive training to manage workload and well-being, and governors are "ambitious for the school."
- The early years curriculum is "well sequenced," allowing children to build effectively on prior knowledge.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum in a "small number of foundation subjects" is at an "earlier stage," meaning pupils’ learning is "not as well embedded" as in other areas.
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) "varies in quality" and is not always "closely matched to their needs."
- The strategy for teaching language in the early years is "not consistently applied," leading to missed opportunities to develop children’s language skills.
Safeguarding
The report states that "arrangements for safeguarding are effective," with a "strong, effective culture" where staff are trained to identify concerns and share them swiftly.
