Check the area around this school
37th of 37 secondary schools in Warwickshire we can score, 38 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 — 2.2/10 against 521 of them, against 1.4/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 5 | 35% | 0.19 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 26.5 · 9 | 30% | 0.28 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.39 · 21 | 25% | 0.53 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 37.1 · 9 | 10% | 0.09 |
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 Catholic School
Overview
The report states that Trinity Catholic School has "transformed over the last 12 months" following significant leadership changes and trust support. While the overall effectiveness is judged as "Requires improvement," the school is praised for creating a "calm and positive environment" with "Good" behaviour, personal development, and sixth-form provision.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a "peaceful community" where they "behave very well" and staff maintain "high expectations of behaviour."
- "Caring and respectful relationships between staff and pupils are valued by all," contributing to a supportive atmosphere.
- Support for vulnerable pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is "particularly effective," with "exceptional" help for attendance and social, emotional, and mental health needs.
- The sixth form is "Good," with students making "good progress" and receiving strong support for future destinations.
- The "preparation for life" programme effectively builds pupils’ personal development, including positive careers information and inclusivity initiatives.
Areas to improve
- Teachers must use assessment "precisely" to identify and address gaps in pupils’ knowledge and misconceptions, which currently persist due to inconsistent checking.
- The school should provide further training to ensure all teachers implement the curriculum "consistently well," as some learning activities do not yet support learning sufficiently or deepen thinking.
Safeguarding
The report confirms that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
