Year 7 Service of Welcome

Further to our letter in September, just a reminder about the arrangements for the Year 7 Welcome Service, led by Canon Michael Manley, in the Cathedral on Tuesday 15th October at 2.10pm.

Our links with the Cathedral are a visible sign of our connection to the life of the Church and of a commitment to providing a full and rounded education for our students. We believe that to encounter history, beauty and prayer is good for young people. The Cathedral staff are equally committed and delighted to make space and time for us. You are also very welcome to the service on 15th October and we hope that as many of you as possible will join us.

Dear Parent/Carer

It is a privilege to be able to write to you in my first term as Headteacher of Trinity School. I am looking forward to working with you and meeting you at our regular parents’ evenings and events.

Ms Jo Hawkin - Headteacher

I offer a warm welcome to the parents/carers of our new Year 7 students and look forward to officially welcoming you to the Trinity community at our Year 7 Information Evening next week. A separate letter has gone out inviting you to this event. Welcome, too, to those joining us from other schools in Year 12. Mr. Winter, Assistant Head and Head of Sixth Form, will be meeting you at the Year 12 Information and Tutor Evening on 25th September. Both year groups have settled well, with 100% attendance in Year 7 on their first day. They are finding their way around, are making new friends and seem happy. Year 12 have been involved in a three-day induction programme which involved a variety of activities: first aid training, road safety awareness, teambuilding and sessions designed to set them up effectively for their academic studies that start on Monday. All are raring to go.

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.
