From the Trinity Road Primary School
We are situated very close to the heart of Chelmsford within walking distance of the town centre, library, theatre, swimming pool and many other facilities. Trinity Road Primary was founded in the Edwardian era. As you approach our facility, it is clear what it is for; it has a very traditional school vibe. We are lucky to be able to combine conventional learning environments with more contemporary methods. We may participate in small group activities and have Key Stage libraries because the majority of our classes are twinned and have a shared space. We are privileged to have an additional lunch bar, meaning that hall space is always available, and a community room, which enables us to provide before and after school care through the YMCA and links to our community through outside agencies, such as Messy Play. We provide a variety of extracurricular activities, including as football for boys and girls, karate, art club, and netball.
