Holy Trinity CofE Infant School
About Holy Trinity CofE Infant School
Holy Trinity CofE Infant School, a Church of England state primary in Newark and Sherwood, received a Good rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in 2025, but the detail beneath that headline tells a stronger story. The school was not judged on overall effectiveness in that inspection, yet it achieved Outstanding in three of the five categories: early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes. Leadership and management, along with quality of education, were both rated Good. This marks a shift from the school’s previous inspection in 2013, when it was rated Outstanding across the board. With just 62 pupils on roll against a capacity of 75, Holy Trinity is a small, close-knit infant school for children aged 4 to 7. The most telling exam metric for a school this size is the Parent View data, where 100 per cent of the 41 respondents would recommend the school to other parents — a rare and unambiguous vote of confidence.
