Trinity Primary School

Hereford, HR4 0NU · Herefordshire, County of · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
5.5/10 Broadly average

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.

What Ofsted said about Trinity Primary School

Inspection report dated 19 January 2024

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.
