The standard of teaching and learning at Trinity St Mary's CofE primary school in Balham has seen it climb into England’s top one per cent of high performing schools.

Its most recent Key Stage 2 exam results saw 100 per cent of its pupils achieving or exceeding nationally expected standards in reading, writing and mathematics.

Trinity St Mary’s success has prompted letters of congratulation from two education ministers.

In a joint letter to headteacher Lynn Anderson Education Secretary Damien Hinds and School Standards Minister Nick Gibb praised the school for its academic excellence and high standards of professionalism.

They wrote: “We would like to congratulate you, your staff and your pupils on the very high standard of achievement demonstrated in the |Key Stage 2 assessments last year. 

“Your school’s results…show that by improving the percentage of pupils achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics for the second year in a row, 100% of your pupils reached or exceeded the expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of Key Stage 2. This means that your school is in the top 1% of primary schools in England.”

The letter concludes: “Thank you for producing such high standards through your hard work and professionalism and congratulations again to you and your staff for all you have achieved.”

Congratulations Trinity St Mary's!
