Parental Bulletin – 12th June 2026
CONTACTING SCHOOL
As many of you will have heard on the school answer phone message, we receive an exceptionally high volume of calls on a daily basis. Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to answer a high percentage of these calls or to listen to all voice messages left. We would therefore urge you to email the relevant person/people you wish to contact. Not only does this ensure that we have a written trail of communication between you and school, but it also means that the person you wish to speak to is guaranteed to receive your message.

Year 10 Assembly – University College Birmingham -Introduction to FE, UCB and post 16 and 18 pathways including technical qualification pathways.
Work experience for Year 10 will take place from 6–10 July, and students are expected to secure their own placements. The placement details, once found, will need to be added to Unifrog, log in details have been provided to students already. If students struggle with inputting the information on to Unifrog, they can seek help from either Mrs Kenderdine (Careers Adviser) or Mrs Taman (Work experience co-ordinator). Suitable opportunities are increasingly hard to find, so any support from parents and carers would be hugely appreciated. If you own a business or are able to offer a placement through your workplace, we would be grateful to hear from you. We have 255 students who need placements, and even a small number of additional opportunities would make a big difference. Thank you. Trinity Careers Team.
