Trinity Primary School
Hereford, HR4 0NU · Herefordshire, County of · primary school
36th of 72 primary schools in Herefordshire, County of we can score, 78 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 — 5.3/10 against 4,277 of them, against 5.7/10 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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 Primary School
Overview
Trinity Primary School continues to be a good school, with inclusion at its heart. Leaders have a clear vision, and pupils enjoy a broad curriculum enriched by regular trips and opportunities to take on responsibilities. The school prepares children well for their next steps, fostering a positive and respectful community.
Strengths
- Staff ensure all pupils receive the help and care needed to achieve well and grow into "well-rounded young people."
- Teachers use the ‘Trinity Golden Threads’ and strong subject expertise to help pupils build on their learning over time.
- Children in early years are "curious and eager to discover new things," with adults extending their vocabulary through meaningful interactions.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have their needs identified quickly and receive "bespoke support" such as sensory play and hydrotherapy.
- Older pupils take pride in supporting younger peers as peer mediators and monitors, contributing to a positive whole-community approach to behaviour.
Areas to improve
- The school should use assessment more effectively to precisely identify the sounds pupils know, ensuring the phonics curriculum is adapted suitably for those struggling to keep up.
- Leaders should provide sufficient training opportunities so that a small minority of staff feel confident implementing the school’s behaviour policy and managing recent curriculum changes.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
