About Ossett Holy Trinity CofE VA Primary School

Ossett Holy Trinity CofE VA Primary School sits within the Wakefield local authority, where it ranks 43rd out of 97 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it in the top half of schools locally, though it sits some way behind the three top-performing peers in the authority — Jerry Clay Academy, Horbury Bridge Church of England Junior and Infant Academy, and Larks Hill Junior and Infant School — each of which achieved a ranking score of 93. The school is a Church of England voluntary aided primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It is led by headteacher Jonathan Wood and has 345 pupils on roll, which is above its official capacity of 315. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13.8 per cent. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in October 2024, the school was judged Good across all five graded categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That marks a clear improvement from its previous inspection in June 2022, when it was rated Requires Improvement overall.
