Holy Trinity is a warm, welcoming place where all children - including those with additional needs and disadvantaged pupils - feel safe and included. The school has strong early reading teaching and phonics support, helping pupils catch up quickly if needed.

Key Strengths
- Safeguarding is effective with strong pastoral care and staff support for pupils' emotional wellbeing
- Pupils behave well with positive attitudes to learning and feel safe and cared for
- Early reading and phonics teaching is strong, with good support for pupils who need to catch up
- Inclusive environment where all pupils, including those with SEND, are well supported and feel they belong
- Personal development curriculum is well-structured with good opportunities for confidence-building through sports, drama, singing and dance
Areas for Improvement
- Teaching quality is not consistent across all subjects, which means pupils are not achieving as well as they should
- Pupils' knowledge across the curriculum lacks depth and some are not well prepared for their next steps
- Disadvantaged pupils' outcomes in reading, writing and mathematics remain below national averages
- Some teachers lack subject knowledge which leads to tasks that don't match pupils' abilities
- Governors need to hold leaders to account more effectively on pupil achievement
Safeguarding
Safeguarding standards are met - leaders and governors fulfil their responsibilities, have created an open safeguarding culture, and as a result pupils are made safer and feel safe.
Extracurricular Activities
Sports clubs, drama clubs, singing and dance clubs, visits to local farm and library
Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School is a welcoming community where pupils feel safe and happy. However, the school needs to improve teaching quality across the curriculum and accelerate achievement for all pupils, particularly disadvantaged pupils.
