GCSE results 2024
2024 marks the first set of GCSE results for the school and, as such, a milestone in its journey. It is the first opportunity we have to benchmark our hard work and educational ethos against other schools locally.
We are delighted with the results for both students individually and the school as a whole. As a cohort, students have made very positive progress since primary school. This means that Trinity Academy is one of the highest performing schools in terms of progress in the city and wider region with 25% of grades achieved 7 to 9 (previously A and A*).
The school is particularly proud that pupil premium students have outperformed their non pupil premium counterparts in terms of the progress they have made in English and Maths since primary school. This is particularly important to the school and fits with our mission to provide a world class education for all its students. Staff are also really pleased as a performing arts school that some of our best results came from creative subjects including Art, Music and Dance.
Eiron Bailey says,, “I am absolutely delighted with our first set of GCSE results. They are testament to the hard work of our wonderful students and staff. It is particularly challenging for new schools to achieve strong GCSE results in their first year and Trinity has risen to the challenge. A particular joy is to see our students able to access their post 16 places of choice because of their exceptional outcomes here, with many staying with us as we open our new Sixth Form this September.”
Neil Blundell, CEO of Cathedral Schools Trust said “We are delighted that Trinity Academy has produced such a stunning set of results making such a positive contribution to education across Bristol. Staff and students have worked incredibly hard over more than five years realising an ambitious educational vision for the local community and for Bristol.”
Students at Trinity achieved a very strong set of GCSE results in August 2024 – which was well above national average both in terms of progress and attainment. On average students at Trinity achieved 0.53 grades higher in each of their GCSEs compared to the national average of other pupils with similar prior attainment. From a cohort of over 110 students taking GCSEs last year:
- Trinity students achieved 0.8 grades higher in English compared to the national average for students of a similar prior attainment.
- 75.8% of our students achieved a grade 4+ in English and Maths compared to the local authority average of 63.4%
