Trinity Academy St. Edwards

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 May 2024

Pupils receive an exceptional education at this highly inclusive school. Pupils are welcomed into a school family and provided with a huge number of opportunities to learn and to develop their character. Pupils make rapid progress through the curriculum. They develop a command of vocabulary that allows them to explain complex ideas. Pupils learn to speak, read and write like experts. For example, pupils who struggle to write confidently are soon able to produce well-constructed and extensive pages of prose after careful tuition. Pupils display model behaviour. They are keen to learn and proudly display badges such as 'Masters of Recall', 'Academic Achievement' and their 'House' badge, all of which showcases their many achievements. Pupils take a lead on many aspects of school life. For example, they support younger pupils' transition to the school, have written a school prayer, and they support local charities and have influenced changes to the uniform. Pupils support each other, noting that `we celebrate all achievements, even if it's not our achievement'. Pupils enjoy many inspirational opportunities to widen their interests. Pupils can choose from activities such as learning British Sign Language, crafting club, choir, young engineers club and building a soapbox car. In the representative words of one pupil: 'This school has inspired me to do things I had never been confident to do at primary school.'
