Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders' relentless focus on pupils' progress has transformed the education provided by the school in recent years. As a result, pupils are making speedy progress.

Pupils enjoy school and attend regularly. Pupils' attendance is above the national average. Staff morale is high.

Staff respect leaders and act on advice given. Consequently, the quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good. The trust has been pivotal in the success of the school.

Strong, strategic leadership, including governance, has ensured that the right people are in the right places to secure the necessary improvements. Middle leadership is particularly e...ffective in key stage 2 in raising achievement. There are a few remaining inconsistencies, notably in the early years and in key stage 1.

Senior leaders have implemented thorough assessment systems. Accurate assessment accounts for the rapid improvement to whole-school effectiveness. The most able pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, make strong progress.

Senior leaders focus relentlessly on 'the basics', leading to much improved outcomes in reading, writing and mathematics. In particular, pupils make rapid progress in reading. Standards in reading are high in almost all year groups.

Teachers' use of high-quality texts develops pupils' love of reading. The curriculum inspires pupils to learn. The range and quality of activities in other subject areas promotes pupils' enjoyment of school.

Teaching in modern foreign languages does not enable pupils to develop their knowledge and understanding to the same level as other subjects. Teaching in the early years provides children in Nursery and Reception with a good start to their education. Occasionally in the early years, the support for children with complex needs is inconsistent.

Consequently, their progress slows. All adults use their extensive knowledge of pupils' needs to keep them safe. A strong sense of community permeates the school.

Most parents are highly positive about the school's work. However, a small minority would welcome better communication.

Information about this school

Trinity is a smaller than average-sized school.

There is one class per year group. There have been considerable changes in the school's staffing since the school opened. The school became part of the Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership in June 2016.

The trust was formed in 2013 and its work is overseen by a board of directors. The trust is responsible for eight primary schools and three secondary schools across three local authorities in the south west region. When its predecessor school the Academy of Trinity Church of England VC Primary School was last inspected, it was found to be inadequate and was placed in special measures.

The vast majority of pupils are White British and nearly all pupils speak English as their first language. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for support by the pupil premium is above the national average. The proportion of pupils who receive special educational needs support and those who have a special educational needs statement or an educational health and care plan is above the national average.

The school runs a breakfast and after school club. The school's Nursery 'Acorns' provides spaces for up to 30 children aged three and four. In 2017, the school did not meet the government's current floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress in English and mathematics by the end of Year 6.
