Check the area around this school
26th of 31 secondary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 45 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 — 1.2/10 against 746 of them, against 1.4/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 19.3 · 3 | 30% | 0.10 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.3 · 27 | 25% | 0.68 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 38.2 · 13 | 10% | 0.13 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Trinity High School and Sixth Form Centre overview
How it's doing
The school is rated Good by Ofsted following an inspection in 2024. In 2024/25, 26.7% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 39.2, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.3 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly 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 (1.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join House Masterchef, Spelling Bee, and Performing Arts Championship clubs, participate in Sports Day, and take part in Trinity's got Talent.
Getting in

What Ofsted said about Trinity High School and Sixth Form Centre
Overview
Trinity High School and Sixth Form Centre is described as a school where pupils enjoy being part of the community and feel safe. Leaders have created a "highly ambitious, broad and enriching curriculum" that prepares pupils well for future academic and vocational courses. The school benefits from strong leadership and effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- Leaders have designed a curriculum that is "logically sequenced and rich in knowledge," helping pupils develop greater depth in their understanding.
- Teachers possess "strong subject knowledge" and plan lessons carefully, breaking down concepts so all pupils can learn effectively.
- The school offers a wide choice of opportunities outside lessons, including leadership roles and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme to gold level.
- Staff well-being is prioritised, with leaders going to "great lengths to reduce workload pressures."
- Attendance has shown "steady improvement" over the last two years due to targeted support for barriers to regular school attendance.
Areas to improve
- The school needs to ensure that pupils who are not participating in the extra-curricular programme are identified and encouraged to take part, as currently "around half of the pupils... do not participate."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
