Holy Trinity Academy remains a good school, distinguished by its culture of care and respect, where every pupil is valued. The school offers an academically ambitious curriculum and has seen strong progress in learning outcomes, particularly at A level. Although students engage positively with both academic pursuits and enrichment activities, there is room for improvement in ensuring all pupils are consistently engaged and that teaching strategies effectively support diverse learning needs. This marks their first ungraded inspection since being awarded a good rating in 2018, and the school is committed to developing stronger community ties and improving staff workload.
