Check the area around this school
25th 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 — 7.3/10 against 2,405 of them, against 6.2/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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 Whitehill
Overview
Whitehill Community Academy has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The school has undergone significant changes, including joining a new multi-academy trust and implementing new policies and a fresh curriculum, which are now showing positive impacts. Leaders at all levels demonstrate high ambitions for pupils, who are described as behaving well, happy, and ready for the next stage of their education.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, follow clear routines such as ‘track the teacher’, and enthusiastically engage with reward systems.
- Children in the early years make a strong start, with expertly trained staff delivering phonics and supporting parents in helping with learning at home.
- The mathematics and reading curriculums are fully embedded, fostering a ‘love of reading’ with high-quality ‘wonder books’ in every classroom.
- The school swiftly identifies and provides effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring they make positive progress.
- Attendance is above the national average, and pastoral teams work effectively to support families struggling with attendance.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects where curriculum changes are recent, pupils have gaps in knowledge; the school should continue implementing planned changes so pupils can recall learning across all subject areas.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
