Trinity School
Carlisle, CA1 1JB · Cumberland · secondary school
13th of 19 secondary schools in Cumberland we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 924 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2/10 among them, against 2.7/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 30.2 · 18 | 46% | 0.81 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.14 · 39 | 38% | 1.50 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 41.4 · 27 | 15% | 0.41 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Christian Union, Art Club, Music Club, Choir, Orchestra, Culture Club, Python Programme, and Dungeons and Dragons. Sports options include Athletics, Swimming, Tennis, Rounders, Cricket, and Football. Arts activities feature Drama, Rap, Music Production, and Retro Games. Trips include Prague, Geology, and the USA. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1675 pupils in a capacity of 1500, meaning it is over capacity by 175. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity by 175 places? What support is offered to pupils whose Progress 8 score is below the national baseline? How does the after-school club operate for students with late finishes?
