Holy Trinity CofE Primary School
About Holy Trinity CofE Primary School
Holy Trinity CofE Primary School in Sandwell is a larger-than-average Church of England primary that, on its headline KS2 measure, sits almost exactly in line with the local authority average. The school achieved 59% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year, compared with the Sandwell average of 60% for all primary schools. That places it 48th out of 83 primaries in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of local schools but not far from the middle of the pack. Its national percentile ranking of roughly 60% tells a similar story — this is a solidly mainstream school rather than an outlier in either direction. What is more striking is the school's context: Holy Trinity is oversubscribed, with 86 applications for 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 39.8% of its 480 pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. That combination of high deprivation and steady demand suggests a school that serves its community well enough to remain a popular local choice.
