Lift Trinity

About Lift Trinity

Lift Trinity is a state primary school in Haringey that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 212 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.53. Of those 212 applications, 70 were first-preference choices, and 57 of those first-preference families were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, and it's backed up by the school's most recent Ofsted inspection, which rated it Outstanding overall. The ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Outstanding, and the graded inspection in 2016 had already awarded top marks for leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness. It's worth noting that the school's previous graded inspection in 2014 had rated it Requires improvement, so the turnaround has been significant.

Academically, Lift Trinity is performing at a very high level. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 93% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Haringey local authority average of 69%. That puts the school first out of 51 primary schools in the borough, and in the top 2% nationally. The proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in all three subjects was 27%, while in reading specifically, 64% achieved the higher standard and the average score was 113. In maths, 58% hit the higher standard with an average score of 112. The school's ranking score of 93 places it ahead of other strong local primaries like Rhodes Avenue Primary School and Lift Noel Park, both of which also score highly.

The school has a range of facilities that support its academic and extracurricular offer, including a sports hall, library, playing fields, and a sensory room. There are clubs covering book club, chess, coding and film club, plus sports including netball, football, cricket and gymnastics. Lift Trinity also has a nursery provision, taking children from age three, and provides support for a wide range of SEND needs, including autistic spectrum disorder, speech, language and communication needs, and social, emotional and mental health support. With 19.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a diverse intake. For families who live in Haringey and are looking for a high-performing, oversubscribed primary with strong academic outcomes and good facilities, Lift Trinity is clearly a popular choice, though securing a place will require a first-preference application.
