PARENTAL BULLETIN – 08 DECEMBER 2023
MESSAGE FROM THE HEADTEACHER
Dear Parents/Carers,
As we finish another busy and increasingly Christmassy week at Trinity, I have pleasure in writing to you to celebrate some of my peaks of the week. This week our 12 days of Christmas Attendance Challenge got underway, currently we are on Day 3. Each day, students can win prizes of increasing value for being in school and attending for every one of the 12 days. The challenge is festive and fun, but the overriding purpose is to incentivise high attendance at the time of year where nationally there has been a dip since the pandemic. Please refer to our policy and posters if you require any guidance regarding attendance matters.
Also, this week, classrooms have been purposeful with students working hard on end of term assessments but as always, there has also been lots of extra-curricular events and trips such as the RE trip to St Stephen’s Church, the Geography field trip and the Criminology lecture for A level Psychology students. It was also a pleasure to look out of my window and witness the number of students who turned up for rugby training this week, as I have a personal passion for this wonderful sport.
Next week we have our Christmas Carol concert on Thursday 14th December and we invite all members of the Trinity family to join us at 7pm. Also, the week after we have our first Celebration assembly of the year. Students who have met milestones will soon be informed and we hope parents/carers can join us to celebrate the success of your children.
Have a lovely Christmassy weekend when it comes.
Mr Ford
Headteacher
