Check the area around this school
12th of 16 secondary schools in Lambeth we can score. 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 — 5.8/10 against 320 of them, against 3.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.80 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 40.5 · 39 | 30% | 1.17 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.18 · 36 | 25% | 0.92 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 40.0 · 20 | 10% | 0.20 |
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 Trinity Academy
Overview
Trinity Academy continues to be a good school, where leaders are ambitious for all pupils to achieve highly. The report highlights a calm and orderly environment where pupils are proud of their achievements and enthusiastic about new approaches, such as the ‘golden ticket’ system.
Strengths
- Teachers possess strong subject knowledge and sequence learning carefully in most subjects, helping pupils develop secure knowledge over time.
- Leaders place great emphasis on reading and literacy, providing precise vocabulary instruction and effective small-group support for those needing extra help.
- Behaviour management is consistent and effective, resulting in calmer classrooms that help pupils focus on their work.
- Sixth form students enjoy small teaching groups and individual attention, with many achieving places at their university of choice.
- Governors support leaders effectively and provide rigorous challenge regarding school performance.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum is not yet sufficiently well planned and sequenced in some subjects, notably art and design and technology.
- Staff do not consistently use strategies to cater for the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Some aspects of leaders’ record-keeping are not well organised, making information difficult to access and manage efficiently.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders ensuring staff suitability checks are completed and concerns are investigated promptly.
