Ofsted

Trinity Academy Grammar is GOOD with outstanding features

The recent Ofsted visit found that “Leaders, including governors and trustees, have brought about significant and sustained change. They have comprehensively addressed the weaknesses of the predecessor school.”

The report goes on to say, “Many parents, staff and older pupils celebrate the changes that leaders have brought about. Often, this is transformational.”

The predecessor school, Sowerby Bridge High School, had, for nearly two decades been graded as, satisfactory, requires improvement or inadequate. Following the inadequate judgement, the school became an academy and placed under the leadership of Trinity Multi-Academy Trust.

Leadership of the school was found to be outstanding as was the provision for ‘Personal Development’. This is evident as inspectors use the term, “absolute commitment” multiple times within the report.

“We are delighted that Ofsted have confirmed the transformational changes that have occurred at Trinity Academy Grammar, which is amazing recognition for the students, staff and the academy as a whole. We endeavour to ensure that all our students feel known, valued and understood and that every child reaches their full potential. I am especially proud that Ofsted have highlighted how the school contributes to the community.”
