About Trinity Academy St Chad's

Parents considering Trinity Academy St Chad's will find a school that is clearly in demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 54 applications for just 17 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.18, meaning more than three families applied for every spot. This level of competition is a strong signal of local reputation. The school is a Church of England primary for mixed genders, aged 4 to 11, and is led by headteacher Rachel Dawson. With 126 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is operating well below its maximum size, which may appeal to families looking for a smaller, more intimate setting. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent view score for this school, the high number of first-choice applications — all 17 offers went to first-preference families — suggests that those who know the school rate it highly.
