Holy Trinity CofE Primary School

About Holy Trinity CofE Primary School

Holy Trinity CofE Primary School sits within Surrey Heath, part of the wider Surrey local authority, and is one of 13 primary schools ranked in its immediate borough. It places 4th among those 13, putting it in the top third locally. The top-performing peers in Surrey Heath are South Farnham School, The Raleigh School, and Cardinal Newman Catholic Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Holy Trinity’s own ranking score of 68 reflects solid but not standout performance within a competitive local landscape. The school is a Church of England state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 2 to 11, with a nursery on site. It has 444 pupils against a capacity of 454, so it is running close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 11.9%, slightly below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. Elizabeth Ambrose is the headteacher.

In its most recent graded inspection, carried out in 2011, Holy Trinity was rated Good overall, with Good marks for leadership and management and early years provision. An ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. At Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year, 68% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, just above the Surrey local authority average of 66%. However, only 7% achieved the higher standard in all three subjects. Reading scores were stronger: 83% met the expected standard and 47% reached the higher standard, with an average score of 109. Maths saw 90% at the expected standard and 33% at the higher standard, with an average score of 108. Writing was weaker, with 73% at the expected standard and just 13% at the higher standard. Progress scores are not available, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points.

The school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 132 applications for 59 places, a ratio of 2.24 applicants per place, with 56 offers made to first-preference families out of 61 first-preference applications. Facilities include art studios, music rooms, a sensory room, an ICT suite, a chapel, and an outdoor playground. Sports offered include swimming, netball, cricket, tennis, and football, and clubs include drama, choir, art club, and film club. The school provides for a range of special educational needs, including dyslexia, speech and language difficulties, hearing impairment, autistic spectrum disorder, and social, emotional and mental health needs. This is a good-fit school for families in Surrey Heath who want a Church of England primary with strong reading outcomes and a broad range of activities, but who are comfortable with writing results that lag behind the other core subjects.
