At Holy Trinity Primary School, we strive to provide all of our students with a comprehensive education that is both balanced and supportive of one another. To guarantee that living at Holy Trinity prepares the students in our care socially, spiritually, and academically for later life is our governing body's, school staff's, and local community's top goal. The core of all we do is for our children. We provide a friendly setting in a tight-knit group where everyone's efforts are valued. In many respects, our school is like a family to our kids, who have a strong sense of pride in it and a genuine concern for the wellbeing of their fellow students. I want to invite you to come see us at Holy Trinity. Our staff and students are always open to offers of assistance in the classroom, visits, outings, and extracurricular activities. Holy Trinity's local community is very important to school life; the school is at the centre of our town, and our friends and parents are justly proud of and regularly supportive of their school. The Holy Trinity PTFA works tirelessly to assist our school, raising money and planning community activities. It has grown over the past several years and is a testament to our community spirit and dedication to our kids. Please don't hesitate to come see me if you have any issues or concerns. I always strive to see walk-in clients, but occasionally an appointment may be required. Our children always come first is a distinct attitude that we value and utilise to direct our daily work at Holy Trinity. Every chance we get, we try to honour the wonderful accomplishments of all of our kids. Our goal is to give the children in our care a stimulating and relevant education, and we work hard to create a positive learning environment where each student feels appreciated. The school day begins with an assembly each day. These assemblies contain topics that deal with common problems as well as ethically and spiritually instructing our kids in the Christian faith. Parents/caregivers have the option of removing their kids from the daily act of communal worship if they so choose. But since we are a Church of England school, we kindly ask that you talk to Miss Hayley Todd, our headteacher, about any worries you might have before making this choice. Every week, a clergy member from Halstead Anglican Church leads a worship session at the school. This offer is occasionally given to people of other faiths and denominations. Our weekly "Celebration Assembly" (WOW), which is open to parents, friends, and families, takes place every Friday.
