Dear Parent/Carer

Five skiing places have come up for the ski trip to Italy at Easter 2020.  This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone that has never skied before or skied anything up to advanced level.  All interested entries will be put into a random selection software and notified.  If your child doesn’t get a place straight away, we find with most trips that spaces become available quite often so there is always a chance your child will get a place in the future.  Please see the attached letter:

Literacy and Progress

It is vitally important for all our students to make progress in English and Mathematics.

To this end, we regularly monitor progress, and use a wide range of intervention strategies to help students achieve their full potential. It is very common for students to have some type of intervention or 'booster' lessons at some point during their time at Trinity School, regardless of their ability level.
