About Gee Cross Holy Trinity CofE (VC) Primary School

Gee Cross Holy Trinity CofE (VC) Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically within Tameside, with its headline KS2 metric landing just below the local authority average. The school achieved a 60% rate for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year, compared with the Tameside average of 62%.
