About Trinity Academy Whitehill

Trinity Academy Whitehill, a large state primary in Calderdale, holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2020, a judgement that was reaffirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2025 where inspectors noted that standards were maintained. The school’s most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 56%. This is just below the Calderdale local authority average of 59%, placing the school 45th out of 73 primaries in the area. In individual subjects, the picture is mixed: 69% of pupils met the expected standard in writing and 68% in reading, while maths was slightly lower at 67%. The proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard across all three subjects is just 3%, though 18% hit the higher mark in maths specifically. Average scaled scores were 103 in maths and 102 in reading, both close to the national benchmark of 100.
