Check the area around this school
39th of 99 secondary schools in Kent we can score, 103 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 872 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9/10 among them, against 6.0/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 45.1 · 50 | 30% | 1.50 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.26 · 70 | 25% | 1.74 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 49.7 · 69 | 10% | 0.69 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Trinity School overview
How it's doing
The school is rated Good by Ofsted following an inspection in 2024. In 2024/25, 45.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.26 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.4 out of 10 among them, against 6.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join First Aid, Japanese, Coding, Cookery, and Young Enterprise clubs, or participate in Pilates. Trips include History visits to Poland and New York, and Drama trips to London Southbank and for the Stranger Things Theatre. An after-school club is available.
Getting in
The published school roll is 1,153 pupils against a stated capacity of 1,140. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.
Worth asking on a visit
How does the school support pupils to close the gap with the national median for similar intakes? What specific support is available for students aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How are class sizes managed given the current roll exceeds capacity?
What Ofsted said about Trinity School
Overview
Trinity School continues to be a good school, described as a "caring and considerate" environment where pupils are valued as individuals. The inspection confirms that the school’s Christian ethos pervades every area, fostering a culture where pupils are "tolerant, resilient and respectful."
Strengths
- The curriculum is "carefully planned and suitably constructed," with "particularly strong" examination outcomes and a successful whole-school priority on reading.
- Teachers possess "strong and confident subject knowledge," using effective questioning and feedback to help pupils retain knowledge and close gaps in understanding.
- Relationships are "exceptionally strong," with sixth formers acting as "inspirational role models" who support younger pupils.
- Personal development is a strength, supported by the "exceptionally well designed" ‘Trinity LifeBites’ programme covering personal, social, health, and careers education.
- Disadvantaged pupils are "known and supported well," with achievement gaps narrowing and attendance improving for all groups.
Areas to improve
- The quality of education is not fully embedded in some subjects, such as modern foreign languages, where the curriculum is not always sequenced well enough or ambitious enough.
- The school has not made the most of linking curriculum content across different subjects, meaning pupils do not always make important connections to deepen their learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
