About Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, Eight Ash Green and Aldham

Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, Eight Ash Green and Aldham, was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2013, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed that the school remains Good. This is a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2010, when the school was rated Requires Improvement. The inspection report praised leadership and management as Good, and the school has held a stable rating for over a decade. With just 105 pupils on roll against a capacity of 140, it is a small, intentionally-sized village primary. The school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 26 applications for 12 places, with all 12 first-preference applicants offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.17. This suggests strong local demand, particularly from families who value its Church of England character and its location in the rural parishes of Eight Ash Green and Aldham, near Colchester.
