About Trinity CofE Primary School

Trinity CofE Primary School in Shropshire posts academic results that sit comfortably above the local authority average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 72% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Shropshire average of 59%. That 13-point gap places the school 20th out of 88 primaries in the county, putting it in the top quarter nationally. The school is particularly strong in reading, where 88% of pupils met the expected level and 32% achieved a higher standard. Maths also performs well, with 76% at the expected level and a similar proportion reaching the higher standard. Writing lags slightly behind, with 80% at the expected level and none recorded at the higher tier. The average scaled scores of 107 in reading and 105 in maths confirm solid, consistent teaching across the core subjects.

The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2022, confirmed that it remains Good, a rating it has held since its last graded inspection in 2012. Leadership and management were also judged Good. The school has no sixth form, as is standard for a primary, and no nursery provision. With 157 pupils on roll against a capacity of 161, it is close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 14%, which is around the national average for state primaries. The school’s Church of England character is reflected in its facilities, which include a chapel alongside a library, art studios, a forest school area and an outdoor playground. Sports provision covers cross country, football, rounders, cricket and gymnastics, while clubs include drama, choir, film club, eco club and gardening.

Trinity is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 24 applications for 17 places and all 17 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.41, so families living within the catchment area or with a church connection should check the admissions criteria carefully. The school’s SEND register is broad, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, hearing impairment, physical disability and other difficulties. This suggests a school equipped to support a range of additional needs. For families looking for a strong academic record within a Church of England setting, particularly one that outperforms the local average at Key Stage 2, Trinity is a solid, well-regarded option in Shropshire.
