About Trinity Church School

Trinity Church School in Bath and North East Somerset is a Church of England primary that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 29 applications for just 20 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.45. All 20 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while the school is popular, it isn't impossibly competitive to get into if you live nearby. Parent satisfaction appears strong too — though the most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 was an ungraded visit that confirmed the school 'remains Good', the previous graded inspection in 2018 awarded top marks of Good across leadership, early years provision and overall effectiveness. That's a notable turnaround from the school's 2016 inspection, which rated it Inadequate, so the trajectory here is clearly upward.

Academically, Trinity sits comfortably in the middle of the pack. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 63% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — almost exactly in line with the local authority average of 62%. The school ranks 25th out of 52 primary schools in Bath and North East Somerset, placing it in the top half. Individual subject scores are solid: 76% hit the expected standard in maths (average score 103), 81% in writing, and 59% in reading. Higher-level attainment is more modest, with just 6% achieving the higher standard across all three subjects, though 29% did so in reading alone. Progress scores aren't available in the data, so it's hard to say how much value the school adds, but the raw outcomes suggest a dependable, middle-ground performer.

The school offers a good range of facilities for its 193 pupils, including a Forest School, sensory room, chapel, ICT suite and sports hall. There's nursery provision for children from age 2, which is a practical bonus for working parents. SEND support covers several areas including dyslexia, speech and language needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. Sports include cricket, swimming and netball, while clubs run to art, coding and film club. If you're looking for a Good-rated, oversubscribed but accessible Church of England primary with strong early years provision and a clear improvement story, Trinity Church School is a sensible choice — especially if you value a school that has steadied itself after a difficult inspection and is now delivering consistent results.
