About Trinity Road Primary School

Trinity Road Primary School sits within the Essex local authority, a large county with 444 primary schools, and ranks 311th among them. That places it in the bottom half of the LA table, well behind the top-performing peers nearby — St Thomas More's Catholic Primary School in Colchester, Stambridge Primary School, and Great Totham Primary School all score at or near the top of the ranking metric. The school itself is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with headteacher Ellaina Blake at the helm. It has capacity for 420 pupils and currently enrols 402, so it is running close to full. A quarter of its pupils (24.6%) qualify for free school meals, which is above the national average and suggests a relatively high level of disadvantage in the intake. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Perryfields Junior School, just 1.6 km away, so families in the area do have a highly-rated alternative within walking distance.
