About Holy Trinity Catholic Voluntary Academy

Holy Trinity Catholic Voluntary Academy in Newark and Sherwood holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in March 2024, with the same rating applied across every category inspected: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This marks a consistent outcome compared with its previous inspection in 2012, which also rated overall effectiveness as Good. The school’s most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 24 per cent. That figure is significantly below the Nottinghamshire local authority average of 61 per cent for primary schools, and it places Holy Trinity at the very bottom of its local authority ranking table — 217th out of 286 primary schools in the county, and 32nd out of 32 schools in the Newark and Sherwood district.
