About Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, NW3

Holy Trinity CofE Primary School in Camden has been rated Outstanding across every category in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant jump from its previous Good rating. The inspection, which took place in November 2024, awarded top marks for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. On the most informative exam metric available, 83% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits comfortably above the Camden local authority average of 75%, placing the school 12th out of 38 primary schools in the borough and within the top 10% nationally. It also ranks 255th out of 1,592 primary schools across London, a strong showing for a relatively small school of 171 pupils.

Looking deeper into the Key Stage 2 results, reading stands out as a particular strength: 91% of pupils reached the expected standard, with 35% achieving the higher standard. In writing, 87% met expectations and 22% hit the higher threshold, while maths saw 83% at the expected level and 17% at the higher level. Average scaled scores were 107 in reading and 104 in maths. The school's Progress 8 scores are not available, so it's not possible to measure how much value the school adds relative to pupils' starting points, but the raw attainment figures are solid. Parent feedback is overwhelmingly positive: every single respondent to the Parent View survey said they would recommend the school, and 100% strongly agreed that their child is happy there. The school has held an Outstanding rating across both its recent inspections, with the previous Good rating upgraded in the most recent graded inspection.
