About Holy Trinity School
Holy Trinity School, a mixed state secondary in Wyre Forest, Worcestershire, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The school's most informative exam metric is its Progress 8 score of -0.22, which places it in the 'Average' banding nationally. This score is almost exactly in line with the Worcestershire local authority average of -0.21, suggesting pupils at Holy Trinity make progress broadly comparable to their peers across the county. The school ranks 2nd out of 6 schools within the Wyre Forest area on this measure, and sits in the bottom 50% nationally, at the 65th percentile. With 739 pupils on roll against a capacity of 900, the school is not yet full, and its headteacher is Ian Williams.
At Key Stage 4, pupils achieved an Attainment 8 score of 45.9, with 68.6% securing a grade 4 or above in both English and maths, though this drops to 44% at the stronger grade 5 or above threshold. The EBacc entry rate is low at 15.1%, with only 12.6% achieving the full EBacc at grade 4 or above. The school's sixth form is small, with just six pupils in the most recent data, and offers a points per entry score of 30, equating to an average grade of C. The sixth form's value-added score of 0.14 is positive, and its progress banding is rated as 'Average', with Ofsted also grading the sixth form provision as Good in its most recent inspection.
Holy Trinity offers a broad range of facilities including a swimming pool, sports hall, tennis courts, playing fields, and a dedicated sixth form centre. The school provides extensive SEND support, covering twelve categories from dyslexia to autistic spectrum disorder and physical disability. It was oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry, receiving 620 applications for 204 places, with 177 offers made to first-preference applicants. The oversubscription ratio of 3.04 indicates strong local demand. With clubs ranging from Model UN and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award to gardening and science club, plus sports including rugby, hockey, and gymnastics, this school suits families seeking a well-equipped, inclusive secondary with a Good Ofsted rating and a sixth form, particularly those within the Wyre Forest area.
