About Trinity St Mary's CofE Primary School

Trinity St Mary's CofE Primary School in Wandsworth holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all judged Good. The school has maintained this standard since at least its previous inspection in 2012. But the most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: 75% of pupils hit that benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, comfortably above the Wandsworth local authority average of 68%. That places Trinity St Mary's 18th out of 55 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top third locally and the top 20% nationally. For a small school with just 120 pupils and a high proportion of children eligible for free school meals (56.9%), these results suggest the school is doing something right with its core teaching.

Digging into the KS2 data, the school's strongest subject is maths, where 88% of pupils reached the expected standard and 50% achieved the higher standard — a notably strong showing. The average maths scaled score was 109, compared with 107 in reading. Writing was the weakest area, with 75% at expected and just 13% at the higher level. Reading saw 81% at expected and 19% at higher. The school's overall ranking score of 75 is based on the combined expected standard metric, and while it's not in the top tier of Wandsworth primaries — the nearest Outstanding school is St Anselm's Catholic Primary School, 0.8 km away — it's a solid performer that outperforms the LA average by seven percentage points. There are no progress scores available in the data, so it's hard to say how much value the school adds, but the raw outcomes are respectable for a school with this level of disadvantage.

The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 27 applications for 22 places and all 10 first-preference applicants receiving offers, suggesting strong local demand. Facilities include a forest school, chapel, music rooms, art studios, library, sports hall and playing fields, with clubs ranging from eco and science to drama and chess. Sports on offer include gymnastics, football, cricket, swimming, athletics and tennis. The school has nursery provision for children from age 2 and offers SEND support for social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication difficulties, visual impairment and other disabilities. With a capacity of 210 but only 120 pupils on roll, there's room to grow, and the high FSM percentage indicates a genuinely inclusive intake. This is a good-fit school for families in Wandsworth who want a Church of England primary with strong maths outcomes and a broad range of enrichment activities, particularly those whose children might benefit from the school's SEND provisions.
