Check the area around this school
16th of 76 primary schools in Calderdale we can score, 81 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 — 8.6/10 against 1,341 of them, against 7.3/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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 St Peter's
Overview
Leaders have high ambitions for all pupils, creating a calm environment where children respect each other and feel safe. The school is praised for its effective governance, strong focus on reading, and the wide range of experiences that broaden pupils’ horizons. While the curriculum in core subjects is well-embedded, there are inconsistencies in how learning builds across all areas, particularly in the early years and religious education.
Strengths
- Pupils develop communication skills through discussion and take pride in leadership roles such as ‘anti-bullying ambassadors’ and ‘mental health champions’.
- Leaders have prioritised reading, using regular checks to match books to ability and providing engaging extra sessions for those who struggle.
- The curriculum in reading, mathematics, and science is ‘carefully considered from early years through to Year 6’, allowing learning to build effectively.
- Governors provide skilled support and challenge, ensuring information is accurate and committed to school improvement.
- Pupils enjoy a varied selection of clubs and performances, helping them to ‘develop their talents and interests’.
Areas to improve
- Ensure early years teaching is closely aligned with Year 1 learning to strengthen foundations, particularly in foundation subjects.
- Improve teaching on different faiths and religions so pupils can discuss them with ‘sufficient insight’ and secure understanding.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training and leaders maintaining a high profile for safeguarding issues through weekly updates and robust reporting systems.
