Check the area around this school
10th of 53 primary schools in Bath and North East Somerset we can score, 63 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 — 8.8/10 against 3,328 of them, against 8.1/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 19.0 · 90 | 25% | 2.26 |
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 School
Overview
Trinity Church School continues to be a good school, offering a "friendly and inclusive" environment where pupils "learn, grow and believe together." The report highlights a "calm and nurturing atmosphere" with "exemplary" behaviour, where staff care well for pupils and foster strong relationships.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "rich and engaging," with "Mathematics" identified as a particular strength where pupils apply knowledge to reasoning and problem-solving.
- Early reading provision is "strong," with an effective phonics approach ensuring pupils become "confident, fluent readers" by the end of Year 6.
- Staff effectively support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), allowing them to "access the same curriculum as their classmates and progress well."
- Pupils are "well prepared for life in modern Britain" through leadership roles and community involvement, such as charity work and visits to parliament.
- Parents "overwhelmingly support the school," valuing the wide range of clubs, trips, and activities offered.
Areas to improve
- Assessment in foundation subjects is "not used precisely enough," making it unclear what pupils remember over time and inhibiting the building of knowledge.
- The trust must ensure assessment is used effectively to check understanding and inform future learning in these subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
