Trinity Oaks Church of England Primary School

About Trinity Oaks Church of England Primary School

Trinity Oaks Church of England Primary School sits slightly above the Surrey local authority average for Key Stage 2 performance, with 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined compared to the LA average of 66%. That gap is narrow but worth noting given the school serves a relatively affluent intake — just 4.3% of pupils qualify for free school meals, well below the national average. Within Reigate and Banstead, the school ranks 11th out of 21 primary schools on this same metric, placing it in the top half of the borough. Nationally, it sits around the 40th percentile, which is respectable but not exceptional. What really stands out is the Early Years provision, which Ofsted rated Outstanding in the school's most recent graded inspection back in 2017, and the school has held a Good overall rating since then, confirmed by an ungraded inspection in 2022 that found it 'remains Good'.

Academically, the school performs solidly across the three core subjects at Key Stage 2. In reading, 79% of pupils met the expected standard and 42% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 105. Maths tells a similar story: 79% at expected, 38% at higher, and an average score of 106. Writing saw 79% at expected and 33% at higher. The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard across all three subjects — reading, writing and maths — was 17%, which is in line with national averages for schools with similar intakes. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it's hard to say how much value the school adds relative to starting points, but the raw attainment figures are consistent and suggest a school that delivers reliably on the basics. Ofsted rated leadership and management as Good, and the school's behaviour and attitudes were not separately graded in the most recent inspection, though the overall Good rating implies no major concerns.

The school is heavily oversubscribed: for 30 places in the 2025/26 reception intake, there were 107 total applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.57, and 34 first-preference applications for those 30 spots. That level of demand suggests strong local reputation. Facilities include a library, forest school, gymnasium, sensory room, outdoor playground and a chapel, reflecting its Church of England foundation. The school offers a nursery provision and a broad range of clubs from film and science to drama and choir. Sports on offer include tennis, athletics, cricket, dance, cross country and gymnastics. For SEND, the school supports children with specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, speech and language needs, hearing and visual impairments, social and emotional mental health needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. This is a school that suits families who value a church-affiliated, community-focused primary with strong but not exceptional results, and who are prepared to compete for a place.
