Trinity Academy Halifax
Halifax, HX2 9TZ · Calderdale · secondary school
6th of 11 secondary schools in Calderdale we can score, 12 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 — 7.0/10 against 551 of them, against 4.6/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 41.4 · 44 | 30% | 1.32 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.0 · 50 | 25% | 1.26 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.5 · 43 | 10% | 0.43 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Getting in. The school has 1599 pupils in a capacity of 1650, leaving 51 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the national median in Attainment 8? What specific support is offered to ensure students maintain their progress from secondary to sixth form? How does the after-school club operate for students with late finishes?
