The pupils had a great time meeting poet Kate Wakeling. Kate visited classrooms to perform her poetry and support pupils to write their own. At the end of the day, the pupils enjoyed a fun interactive assembly. Thank you to Kate for coming in.
We aim to raise our pupils aspirations by bringing them into contact with successful individuals from a range of professions.
Well done to the Year 3 and Year 4 pupils who took part in the cross country run on Hampstead Heath. Each pupil was challenged to meet their personal target, whilst encouraging their schoolmates along the way. Thank you to the parents who supported the pupils at the event. I am sure all of them appreciated you cheering them on.
Thank you to Year 6 for helping to carry all the Harvest Festival donations over the The O2 Centre yesterday. Their ‘bingo wings’ have had a very good work out this week with all those tins!
If any parents are experiencing hardship, information about Streets Food Project can be accessed by clicking the link below.
Thank you to all the families who donated food for our Harvest Festival. We are so grateful for your generosity and I am sure that Streets Food Project will be too. We are all feeling the pinch in our pockets at the moment, but once again you have shown what it means to live well together.
It was great to see parents at the service to share in the children’s poems and prayers. We hope you enjoyed the Harvest Samba Song – it’s an old favourite!
Tomorrow ‘Operation Streets Food Project’ will take place! The older pupils will be helping to transport all of our goodies over to the O2 Centre to demonstrate the Christian value of service to others.
Good news! Holy Trinity has been awarded the Primary Science Quality Mark.

At Holy Trinity we always strive for excellence and quality marks provide a great framework for assessing our existing practice and developing the knowledge & skills of our staff. Thanks and well done to our Science & Maths Leader, Ms Bear, for working hard to deliver this award.
Parents are welcome to attend.
Dear parent/carers,
We have been trying to dismiss in a new way over the last couple of weeks and it hasn’t worked as well as hoped! We will be tweaking things this week in the hope that things will run more smoothly. Thank you for bearing with us whilst we work out the best way to move large numbers of people around our small space!
This is a gentle reminder that school finishes at 3.30pm, not 3.20pm. Dale will open the gates at 15.25 from now on to relieve congestion. If you can avoid getting here before 3.25 that would help.
Dale will move the scooters from the patio by the sheds and line them up by the front fence in the playground. Please collect your child’s scooter first.
Reception
Parents can collect their children from Reception as usual.
Year 1 parents
Please wait by the flower bed in front of the Year 1 classroom, rather than in front of the stairs and school gate. This is causing congestion, so your cooperation would be much appreciated. The year 1 team will send your child down to you when they see you – a member of the team should be outside to help with this.
Year 2
Year 2 will be dismissed from their classroom as usual. Parents can wait at the bottom of the patio.
Years 3, 4, 5 & 6
KS2 classes will be lined up in the playground.
Year 6 will be by the back fence
Year 5 will be by the patio fence
Year 4 will be by the gazebo
Year 3 will be nearest the gate.
If parents need to speak to a teacher at length, please wait for them to dismiss all of their pupils and then accompany them back into the classroom, so that you can speak privately & in comfort. This is so after-school clubs can start in the playground promptly.
Thanks for your help with this.
What a way to start the year! We are really looking forward to receiving the report from OFSTED in around 30 days. As soon as we have it we will, of course, share it with you.
I just wanted to say a big thank you to all the parents who completed the parent survey and to all those who sent supportive messages. It means a lot to the staff to have your support. Thank you.
Dear parents/carers of Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 pupils,
You will receive a green letter and blue form this week, so that you can sign up for the free flouride varnish treatment detailed below. Please do return your forms to the office, otherwise your child will miss out on this protection. Thank you!
Dear parents/ carers,
Please be aware that the school will be inspected tomorrow and Thursday by OFSTED. As part of the inspection process OFSTED seek the views of parents. You can find out more about the inspection & how to provide your views by clicking the link below:

Thank you for your support during the inspection.
Thank you to the parents who attended Meet the Teacher meetings for KS1-KS2 this week. The pupils really enjoyed the opportunity to stay and play in the playground whilst the meetings took place.
