Trinity Church of England School, Belvedere

Belvedere, DA17 6HT · Bexley · secondary school

Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Needs attention Mixed Secondary Church of England
0.8/10 Well below average

14th of 16 secondary schools in Bexley we can score. 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 — 1.0/10 against 689 of them, against 1.0/10 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.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, with the most recent inspection in March 2026. In 2024/25, 24.9% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 34.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.54 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.0 out of 10 either way).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Netball and Football teams, or participate in Photography, Poetry, and Product Design clubs. The school also organises trips to Lower Grange Farm.

Getting in. There are 1051 pupils in a school with 900 places, meaning it is over capacity by 151. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity by 151 pupils? What support is available for pupils who are falling behind in English and maths? How are the arts and sports clubs funded and scheduled?
