Thank you to KS1 for their lovely nativity performance over the past few days. I am sure you would like join me in thanking the KS1 team for putting such a lovely show together.
We hope parents enjoyed the first performance of Reception’s Nursery Rhyme Nativity this morning. The children did a fantastic job! Here is a selection of the photos that I took this morning.
At Holy Trinity, we are always looking to improve our provision and open opportunities up for our pupils. Currently it is not possible to run 1:1 music tuition at Holy Trinity without disturbing classes. However, we are hoping to find a solution in conjunction with Camden Music Service.
Please complete this very short questionnaire, so we can gauge the level of interest and see what solutions we may be able to offer. Deadline for surveys is Friday 13th December.
Parent Survey – Learning a Musical Instrument
Thank you for your time.
Thank you to all the parents that were kind enough to complete surveys and talk to the OFSTED inspectors on Tuesday and Wednesday. The inspectors shared some of the comments and we were very touched by them.
We also appreciated the supportive messages that you gave us, as they saw you around the school. Knowing that you were all wishing us well was like a wind beneath our wings.
OFSTED spoke to a real cross-section of the pupils, taking them for a variety of focused conversations. The children did brilliantly and were an asset to the school. One inspector said he had never had a group of primary school boys ask to shake his hand after a conversation!
Unfortunately, we are not allowed to share the outcome of the inspection until the final report is issued in roughly 30 working days, so that may not be until after the Christmas holiday. We will get the report out to you, as soon as we can.
If you are interested in a free trial ballet lesson, please contact Regal Ballet using the details below. Lessons will be held at Hampstead Parochial School.
Our partners at The O2 Centre are running a Christmas Coat Tree this year. Please click the link for further details about how you might be able to help or benefit from the appeal for pre-loved winter coats.
At Holy Trinity we want all of our pupils to enjoy the full spectrum of opportunities available in London, so we pack our curriculum full of trips, workshops, collaborations and projects. Year 2 have visited The Tower of London and Years 3 & 4 have started their long-term dance collaboration with The Place. Today pupils have been marking Remembrance with a two minute silence, so they understand the preciousness of life and why we want them to live it in its fullness.
At Holy Trinity, we are always looking for activities that pupils can take part in outside of school. I was lucky enough to meet Joanne from Grand Junction yesterday who offers a range of great arts activities for free! Please take a look at the attached flyers for details of what they offer.

Year 6 had a great time at The Imperial War Museum on Tuesday finding out more about their history topic. Did you know that fish and chips were not rationed during WWII, because Churchill thought it would damage the nation’s morale?
