About Trinity Church of England Primary School

Trinity Church of England Primary School in Bromley was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a rating it has held consistently. The inspection also awarded the school’s Early Years provision an Outstanding grade, which is a notable strength. However, the school’s headline academic metric tells a more mixed story. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 47% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is significantly below the Bromley local authority average of 69%, and it places the school 64th out of 69 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, Trinity sits in the bottom 17% of schools on this measure. The individual subject scores are more encouraging: 62% of pupils met the expected standard in maths and 60% in reading, but writing lagged at 56%, and no pupils achieved the higher standard in either writing or the combined measure.

Looking closer at the exam data, the average scaled scores in reading and maths were both 103, which is exactly the national average. Around a fifth of pupils reached the higher standard in maths (20%) and reading (22%), but again, none did so in writing. The school does not publish progress scores for any subject, so it is difficult to say whether pupils are making the expected gains from their starting points. In the context of Bromley, where 23 out of 76 primary schools are rated Outstanding, Trinity’s academic results are a clear area for development. The school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 52 applications for just 17 places, with all 17 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 3.06, suggesting strong local demand despite the middling results.

Trinity is a Church of England primary for children aged 2 to 11, with a nursery on site. It has a large capacity of 500 but currently enrols 341 pupils, so there is room to grow. The school offers a Forest School, a chapel, playing fields and a library, plus clubs ranging from gardening and eco club to film club and drama. Sports include gymnastics, netball, cricket and cross country. For families with children who have additional needs, the school has a dedicated SEN unit and provides support for autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language needs, and social, emotional and mental health. With 35.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a relatively disadvantaged community compared with the Bromley average. This school will suit families who value its inclusive, Church of England ethos and strong early years provision, and who are comfortable with academic outcomes that sit below the local norm.
