Trinity School in detail

Results

The Department for Education's GCSE measures do not count IGCSEs, which many independent schools take instead of GCSEs, so the Attainment 8 and English and maths figures it publishes for Trinity School can understate its results. We do not rank or compare them; ask the school for its own GCSE and IGCSE results.

Of the 16 students who left the sixth form in 2023/24, 31% went on to university or other higher education and 6% to apprenticeships.

Who goes there

In 2026, 38 pupils (14.8%) received SEN support and 19 (7.4%) had an education, health and care plan.

6 bus stops are within a five-minute walk; the closest is Trinity School (opposite), 60 metres away.

The area around the school

Measured by the 2025 English Indices of Deprivation, the neighbourhood Trinity School stands in is among the 20% least deprived neighbourhoods in England. On income deprivation affecting children it is in the 7th decile, where the 1st is the most deprived. This describes where the school is, not where its pupils live.

In August 2026, police recorded 109 crimes within a mile of the school, most often violence and sexual offences, criminal damage and arson and anti-social behaviour. That is well above the typical figure around schools in Devon (16), as is usual near a town centre.
