What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 November 2022
The school motto is 'Be the best you can be'. Pupils aspire to this. Trinity is a happy school where pupils feel safe. Pupils enjoy their lessons because teachers make learning interesting and memorable. This is a welcoming and inclusive school. Leaders greet everyone as they arrive each day. Pupils who need extra help, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), receive good support. The curriculum is ambitious for all. Pupils show care and compassion for one another. They are very well mannered. Pupils know the school's seven values. They learn about respect and resilience. Pupils are inquisitive learners who strive to work hard and achieve well. They take part in lots of sporting and extra-curricular activities, and learn how to stay healthy. Pupils learn about being global citizens. They enjoy fundraising events such as sponsored silences and bring- and-buy sales. Pupils say bullying happens rarely. They say any member of staff will help them sort it out. Pupils thrive at Trinity. They understand how to contribute to helping others. Young leaders include school councillors, ambassadors, house captains, and playground and lunchtime helpers. Parents say Trinity is a family and a community.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, such as history and geography, leaders have not defined the specific knowledge for pupils in key stage 2 in enough detail. This means that pupils are not always learning as much as they could. Leaders need to identify the important knowledge which needs to be taught more precisely, in order to help teachers ensure pupils work towards and achieve the end goals.
- Sometimes, pupils are given sentences to read in mathematics and foundation subjects that are beyond their current phonics knowledge. This means that some pupils do not understand the work sufficiently. Leaders need to regularly check that pupils receive the support and resources needed to allow all pupils to access and complete the tasks set successfully.
