61st of 69 primary schools in Bromley we can score, 76 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.8/10 against 2,393 of them, against 3.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Church of England Primary School
Overview
Trinity Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, described as an "inclusive, warm and caring" environment where pupils are "safe and happy." Leaders maintain high expectations, fostering a culture where pupils respond with "enthusiasm and resilience" and achieve successfully across the curriculum.
Strengths
- The school is praised for its "positive relationships based on mutual respect" and a curriculum that is "broad and balanced," carefully designed to ensure pupils retain key knowledge and skills.
- Staff demonstrate "secure subject knowledge," delivering structured lessons that help pupils make "meaningful links between the knowledge taught in different subjects."
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is effective, with needs "quickly identified" and bespoke curricula ensuring these pupils are "fully included in school life."
- The phonics scheme is "consistently implemented," helping pupils become "confident readers" through logical progression and targeted support for those falling behind.
- Leaders are "considerate of staff workload and well-being," creating a supportive environment where staff benefit from collaboration across the trust.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must refine the early reading curriculum for weaker readers, ensuring tasks focus precisely on "decoding and blending" rather than distracting from core phonic practice.
- Staff need better strategies to check pupil understanding, as some teaching fails to "skilfully check what pupils know and remember," leaving gaps in learning unaddressed.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders creating a "culture of vigilance" and staff receiving regular training to identify risks and keep pupils safe.
