About Trinity Academy

Trinity Academy’s headline Progress 8 score of -0.18 sits below the Lambeth local authority average of 0.07 for secondary schools, meaning pupils here make less academic progress between Year 7 and Year 11 than their peers across the borough. That gap is modest but consistent — the school ranks 9th out of 15 Lambeth secondaries on this measure, placing it in the bottom half locally and the bottom 40 per cent nationally. However, the picture is not uniformly downbeat. In maths, Progress 8 is +0.06, essentially in line with the national average, and in EBacc subjects it’s +0.18, a positive outlier. The drag comes from English (-0.32) and open subjects (-0.59), which pull the overall figure below the LA benchmark. With 48.8 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals — well above the national average — the school serves a significantly disadvantaged intake, which context matters when interpreting these scores.
