About Burnley Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School

Burnley Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School sits within the Lancashire local authority, a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11. In the most recent local rankings, it placed 7th out of 28 primary schools in Burnley, putting it in the top 25% of its immediate area. That’s a strong showing, though the top-performing peers in the wider Lancashire authority — Crawford Village Primary School, New Longton All Saints CofE Primary School, and St George’s Church of England Primary School in Chorley — all score higher on the same ranking metric. The school is also one of 480 state primary schools in Lancashire, and ranks 181st among them. Its nearest Outstanding-rated school is Burnley Stoneyholme Community Primary School, about a mile away. Holy Trinity itself holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2013, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains Good. That’s a notable improvement from its previous overall effectiveness rating of Requires Improvement in 2009.
