Holy Trinity CofE Primary School
About Holy Trinity CofE Primary School
Holy Trinity CofE Primary School in Tameside is a Church of England primary that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 50 applications for just 26 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.92. That means nearly two families applied for every spot. Of those 50 applications, 25 were first-preference choices, and exactly 25 first-preference offers were made — so if you put it top of your list, you had a solid chance, but it was by no means guaranteed. The school has a nursery provision, which may help families get a foot in the door early. With 236 pupils on roll and a high proportion of children eligible for free school meals (61.1%), Holy Trinity serves a diverse and disadvantaged community. Headteacher Stephanie Kavanagh leads a school that, in its most recent graded inspection in 2012, was rated Good overall, with Good marks for both leadership and management and pupil achievement. An ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good.
