What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 September 2023

Pupils experience a truly inclusive and holistic education at Holy Trinity. They have exceptional opportunities to develop their interests and talents. Pupils express great appreciation for the opportunities, which help them grow into caring and responsible people. They know that they have a voice in the school and its development. Various pupil groups contribute to the rich life in the school. These include an environment team, a mental health and well-being group and the 'Yes/No' programme. The school has very high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils rise to meet these and thrive. As a result, the ethos of the school is brought to life by the caring and respectful environment that exists between pupils and all staff. Leaders and staff support pupils to achieve well, despite the barriers that they may have. Pupils have strong and trusting relationships with staff. Pupils also support each other in the classroom and around school very well. This could be a kind smile or help with work they are doing. All pupils know that they are expected to work hard, and they do so. They enjoy seeing their efforts rewarded and look forward to learning more. Pupils are keen to be successful, but they know they can ask for support whenever they need it and that it will be provided.

What the school should improve

  • The curriculum is yet to have a consistent and exceptional impact for all groups of pupils. Therefore, some pupils are not achieving as highly as they could. The school needs to continue to embed and develop the curriculum in all subjects so that all pupils achieve exceptional outcomes.
