About Trinity Church of England Primary School

Parents considering Trinity Church of England Primary School will find a school that is clearly popular with local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school was oversubscribed, receiving 52 applications for just 27 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.93. Of those 52 applications, 24 were first-preference choices, and 24 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put Trinity as their top choice secured a place. The school is a Church of England primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, with a total of 157 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, so there is some room for growth. Headteacher Tom Burrows leads a school that was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in June 2023, with inspectors awarding Good across all five categories: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. The school has held a Good rating since at least its previous inspection in 2012.

Academically, Trinity performs well above the local authority average. At Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year, 79% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a North Northamptonshire average of just 61%. This places the school 10th out of 90 primary schools in the local authority, putting it in the top 25% nationally. In individual subjects, 83% reached the expected standard in both reading and writing, and 79% did so in maths. At the higher standard, 8% of pupils achieved the higher benchmark across all three subjects, with 21% reaching the higher standard in reading, 25% in writing, and 33% in maths. Average scaled scores were 106 in reading and 105 in maths. Progress scores are not available in the data, but the attainment figures alone suggest a school that is delivering strong outcomes for its pupils.

The school offers a solid range of facilities and activities to support learning beyond the classroom. On site there is a library, sports hall, gymnasium, playing fields, music rooms, a sensory room, a chapel, and a forest school area. Sports include rounders, swimming, football, dance, gymnastics and cricket, while clubs cover chess, gardening, art, eco, book club and drama. For pupils with additional needs, the school lists provisions for specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, physical disability, and other difficulties. With its oversubscribed status and strong local ranking, Trinity is a good fit for families who prioritise academic attainment within a Church of England setting and want a primary school that is well regarded in the North Northamptonshire area.
