About Holy Trinity Church of England (Aided) School

Holy Trinity Church of England (Aided) School in Buckinghamshire presents a striking contrast between its Ofsted rating and its academic outcomes. The school holds an Outstanding grade from its June 2024 inspection, with every category judged Outstanding, yet its Key Stage 2 results sit well below the local authority average. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 48%, compared with the Buckinghamshire primary average of 64%. That 16-point gap places it 120th out of 137 primaries in the county, firmly in the bottom half of local schools. The school’s ranking score of 48 out of 100 on this metric confirms it is not a high-performing academic outlier, despite its inspection success. With just 7.2% of pupils eligible for free school meals, well below the national average, disadvantage is not an obvious explanation for the gap.
