About Trinity Academy

Trinity Academy in Doncaster has turned a corner academically, with its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 awarding a Good rating across every category, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement overall grade. The school’s Progress 8 score, which measures how much pupils progress between the end of primary school and their GCSEs, sits at -0.49. That places it 18th out of 20 secondary schools in the Doncaster local authority, in the bottom 50 nationally. While the score is below the local authority average of -0.04, the school’s Attainment 8 score of 41 and the fact that 52.1% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths (the basics measure) show that many students are leaving with solid qualifications. The school serves a community with 37.2% of pupils eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, so context matters when reading these numbers.
