About Holy Trinity Primary School, A Church of England Academy

Holy Trinity Primary School, a Church of England Academy in Calderdale, was rated Requires Improvement in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a downgrade from its previous Good rating in 2013. The inspection judged every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — as requiring improvement. On the most telling exam metric, just 46% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in 2023/24. That figure sits well below the Calderdale local authority average of 59% and places the school 61st out of 73 primary schools in the borough, in the bottom half nationally. No pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, and while maths scores were a relative bright spot — with an average scaled score of 103 and 25% reaching the higher standard — reading and writing outcomes were weaker, with only 16% and 2% respectively achieving the higher bar.
