Academically, Leatherhead Trinity sits in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, ranking 8,171 out of 13,686 on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. In the 2023/24 results, 59% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is below the Surrey local authority average of 66%. The school’s maths scores are a relative strength: the average scaled score was 106, and 75% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, compared with 68% in reading and 70% in writing. However, only 11% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects. In its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2019, the school was rated Good overall, with Good for leadership and management and Good for early years provision. The ungraded inspection in March 2025 confirmed that standards have been maintained. This is a notable improvement from the previous graded inspection in 2017, when the school was rated Requires Improvement.

The school offers a range of facilities including a sports hall, library, music rooms, a sensory room and a chapel. Clubs cover drama, choir, gardening, coding and eco club, while sports include rounders, gymnastics, dance, cross country, athletics, swimming and cricket. For children with additional needs, the school has a SEN unit and provisions for specific learning difficulties, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, and speech, language and communication needs. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 39.9%, well above the national average, which gives a sense of the school’s intake. Leatherhead Trinity is a good fit for families in the Leatherhead area who want a church school with a nursery, strong parent satisfaction and a clear trajectory of improvement, and who are comfortable with a school that is not among the highest performers academically but is making solid progress.
