Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Holy Trinity is a welcoming community where children feel safe and happy to learn. The school excels at teaching reading with consistent phonics and a real love of books, and provides excellent support for children with additional needs, helping them access the full curriculum alongside their peers. The curriculum is carefully planned so children build their knowledge steadily from Reception through to Year 6.

Key Strengths

  • Strong focus on reading with consistent phonics teaching and a love of books developed across all year groups
  • Excellent support for pupils with SEND who access the full curriculum and achieve well

  • Warm relationships and inclusive environment where pupils feel happy, safe and proud of their school

Areas for Improvement

  • Errors in pupils' written work are not consistently identified or corrected, meaning mistakes repeat and pupils' knowledge becomes less secure
