About The Holy Trinity Church of England Primary Academy
The Holy Trinity Church of England Primary Academy in Wiltshire is a small primary school that punches well above its local average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 96% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%. That is a gap of 38 percentage points, placing the school second out of 159 primary schools in the county and in the top 1% nationally. The school is also oversubscribed: for 2025/26, it received 40 applications for 19 places, with all 19 first-preference families offered a spot. This level of demand reflects a reputation that goes well beyond its 152 pupils on roll, just above its official capacity of 150.
Academically, the school’s performance is consistently strong across all three core subjects. In reading, 96% of pupils met the expected standard and 43% achieved a higher score, with an average scaled score of 109. In maths, 96% met the expected standard and 26% reached the higher threshold, averaging 108. Writing saw 96% at expected and 35% at a higher level. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in November 2022, awarded the top grade of Outstanding across all five categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This is a clean sweep of Grade 1 judgments, and the previous inspection in 2008 also rated overall effectiveness as Outstanding, suggesting sustained excellence over time.
The school offers a range of facilities including a forest school, sensory room, music rooms, art studios, a chapel, and a sports hall. Clubs include drama, gardening, film and book club, while sports on offer are netball, athletics, cross country, gymnastics and cricket. SEND provision is listed for specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia and autistic spectrum disorder. With a Church of England character and a headteacher in Anna Woodman, this is a school that suits families who value strong academic outcomes within a small, community-focused setting. The low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals (3.9%) reflects the local demographic, but the school’s results suggest it delivers for all its pupils.
