Check the area around this school
22nd of 97 primary schools in Shropshire we can score, 127 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 — 6.9/10 against 4,265 of them, against 7.0/10 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

The higher standard was reached by 8.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%.

What Ofsted said about Trinity CofE Primary School
Overview
Trinity CofE Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "happy school where pupils feel safe." Leaders have created a "welcoming and inclusive" environment where pupils are "inquisitive learners" who strive to achieve well. The curriculum is ambitious, with particularly strong outcomes in reading and mathematics, though some subjects require more detailed planning.
Strengths
- Pupils achieve well in reading and mathematics, with children getting a "fast start" in phonics and having "plenty of time to practise" new skills.
- The school is "welcoming and inclusive," with leaders greeting everyone daily and providing "good support" for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
- Pupils are "very well mannered," showing "care and compassion" for one another, with bullying happening "rarely."
- Teaching in physical education, science, and music is highlighted as particularly good, with pupils having many opportunities to "practise and revisit learning."
- Effective safeguarding arrangements are in place, with staff receiving "regular training" and leaders being "tenacious in following up referrals."
Areas to improve
- In subjects such as history and geography, leaders have not defined the specific knowledge for key stage 2 pupils in enough detail, meaning learning is "not always as well focused as it could be."
- Reading materials in mathematics and foundation subjects are sometimes "too difficult for pupils who are at an early stage of learning to read," which slows their progress.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with thorough recruitment checks and staff who are confident in identifying concerns and supporting pupils.
