About Holy Trinity Rosehill CofE Voluntary Aided Primary School

Holy Trinity Rosehill CofE Voluntary Aided Primary School sits almost exactly on the local authority average for its key stage 2 headline metric, with 66% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — the same figure as the Stockton-on-Tees average for primary schools. That places it 27th out of 55 primaries in the borough, a solidly middle-of-the-pack position. But dig a little deeper and the picture becomes more nuanced. While the school matches the LA average on that combined measure, its individual subject scores tell a slightly different story: 86% of pupils hit the expected standard in maths, comfortably above the national benchmark, and the average scaled scores in both reading and maths sit at 106. The school is oversubscribed — 70 applications for 30 places in the 2025/26 intake — suggesting it holds genuine local appeal, even if its headline ranking doesn't scream "outstanding".

The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2023, rated it Good overall, with Good marks for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The one area that stands out is early years provision, which was judged Requires improvement — a notable contrast with the rest of the school's performance. That said, the school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, the previous one being in 2013. At key stage 2, only 2% of pupils reached the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined, and just 2% did so in writing individually, though 27% hit the higher bar in reading and 20% in maths. With no progress scores published for reading, writing or maths, it's hard to gauge how much value the school adds relative to pupils' starting points, but the attainment data suggests a school that delivers solid, if not spectacular, results.

For families seeking a well-regarded, faith-based primary in Stockton-on-Tees that delivers results in line with the local average, this is a sensible, popular choice.
