What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 November 2024

Holy Trinity is a small school with a big heart. It is a warm and welcoming place where pupils are happy and grow in confidence. Parents appreciate the support the school gives to their children and families. Pupils enjoy learning and rise to meet the high expectations set by the school. Pupils are proud of their own achievements and celebrate the successes of others. They value working towards the 'gold centre of the heart' reward. Pupils trust adults to help solve problems and treat them fairly. They feel safe and supported. They know that adults will listen to them and treat everyone equally. These trusting relationships build a calm, positive environment. Pupils learn essential life skills. This is reflected in their respectful relationships. Pupils advocate for equality. They take on leadership roles and join clubs that support their personal growth. Pupils learn about safety, living in a digital world and how to handle challenges. They feel well prepared for life in modern Britain. After previous low outcomes, leaders have made effective changes to the curriculum. These changes have resulted in significant improvement to pupils' achievements in key stage 1. They also had a positive effect on the small key stage 2 cohort.

What the school should improve

  • In some newly revised subjects, assessment is underdeveloped. This means that subject leaders and teachers do not know if all pupils have learned the intended key knowledge. The school needs to develop a consistent approach to assessment to understand what each pupil knows, address misconceptions and build pupils' knowledge over time.
  • Some pupils do not secure accurate letter formation or writing fluency. This results in ongoing errors that hinder their ability to write effectively. The school should focus on teaching correct letter formation and provide more practice to improve handwriting fluency.
