About The Trinity Church of England Primary Academy

The Trinity Church of England Primary Academy in Wiltshire holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement. In its most recent graded inspection in 2018, inspectors rated both leadership and management and overall effectiveness as Good, and an ungraded inspection in 2024 confirmed the school remains Good. The early years provision was also judged Good. When it comes to academic outcomes at Key Stage 2, the school's headline figure is that 48% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This places the school below the Wiltshire local authority average of 58%, and ranks it 117th out of 159 primary schools in the county, putting it in the bottom half nationally. The school's ranking score of 48 reflects this performance, though it's worth noting that individual subject results tell a slightly more nuanced story.

Looking at the individual subject breakdown for the 2023/24 academic year, reading and writing outcomes are relatively stronger. 60% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, with 36% achieving the higher standard, while 64% met the expected standard in writing and 24% reached the higher level. Maths is the weaker area, with 56% at the expected standard and just 4% at the higher standard. The average scaled scores were 102 for reading and 100 for maths, both in line with national averages. Progress scores are not available for any subject, so it's unclear how much value the school adds relative to pupils' starting points. The school's ranking in the South West region is 1124th out of 1469 primary schools, and nationally it sits at 11267th out of 13686, placing it firmly in the bottom 50% of schools across the country.

The school is a Church of England primary with 201 pupils on roll, operating close to its capacity of 210. It is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 40 applications for 23 places and all first preference applicants receiving an offer. Facilities include a gymnasium, library, ICT suite, playing fields and a chapel, and the school offers a range of clubs including film club, drama, choir and art club. Sports provision covers tennis, football, dance and cross country. The school has identified SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, and speech, language and communication needs. With 29.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average disadvantage. This is a school that has turned around its Ofsted rating but faces challenges in raising academic outcomes, particularly in maths, and may suit families who value its church ethos and community feel over league table performance.
