Holy Trinity - a friendly and welcoming school with high aspirations for every child. Holy Trinity is first and foremost a learning environment. We prepare young people for a happy, confident entry into the world. This means building their confidence and belief in themselves, helping them to make good friends and to develop a wide range of interests and skills, as well as inspiring them to achieve academic excellence.
Holy Trinity is a friendly, lively, happy, caring community in an exciting city. We pride ourselves on being both outward and forward-looking. Our pupils come from diverse backgrounds and we are proud to reflect the cosmopolitan mix of London. We are not just tolerant of difference we value it, celebrate it, and encourage each child to be different. This is rooted in our school aims and Christian ethos.
We are a small school although the School's extended community is strong. We believe that children learn best when they are happy, secure, stimulated, and challenged both academically and through extra-curricular pursuits.
Holy Trinity CE Primary School is situated in Tottenham in the London Borough of Haringey. It is a one-form entry, primary school with a current roll of 236 children. The school is proud of its mission to serve its local community and works in partnership with parents and the local church. Holy Trinity is an Academy School with a strong Christian ethos and set of values. Parents have strongly expressed their desire for their children to attend the school due to our ethos and the positive, inclusive way we encourage these values. All our children are equally important and we encourage and celebrate our differences.
Holy Trinity's foundation values are at the heart of our school and everything we do. We aim to provide a caring, stable, and intellectually stimulating environment where all children can develop their potential.
We are incredibly proud of our approach to the whole child and also our approach to raising achievement in all aspects of learning, through developing self-confidence, motivation, independence, creativity, and cooperation.
Our mission statement is:
- Aiming for excellence in all that we do.
- Inspiring curiosity and enquiring minds.
- Nurturing compassion and fellowship, through the love of God.
We aim for excellence in all that we do and strive to create pupils who are well-rounded and confident, happy people. We aim to encourage an understanding that they are important and have a place in society.
Holy Trinity Church enjoys a very close partnership with Holy Trinity CE Primary School. Parish clergy lead Collective Worship either as an assembly in school or a school service in the church
At Holy Trinity CE Primary School we uphold and teach pupils about the British Values which are defined as:
- Democracy
- Rule of law
- Individual liberty
- Mutual respect
- Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
The school uses daily opportunities to actively promote the British Values through our daily Collective Worship and whole school systems and structures such as electing and running a successful Junior Leadership Team. These values are also taught explicitly through Personal, Social, Health, Citizenship, and Economical Education(PSHCE), and Religious Education (RE). We also teach the British Values through the planning and delivering of a broad and balanced curriculum which we ensure includes real opportunities for exploring these values.
Our behavior policy states, that when children achieve a Gold standard of excellent behavior at the end of the day, they are issued with a raffle ticket. All raffle tickets are placed in a Golden Box and four tickets are picked at random during assembly. The children who have a winning ticket can choose a prize.
During class time, the children earn 'House Points throughout the school day. These are collated by the House Captains every Friday and the team that has the most team points wins a prestigious cup for the week. A running total of team points is on display in the hall.
Children are also awarded individual certificates for earning House Points which are presented during Celebration Assembly.
The school is closely linked with the parish church of Holy Trinity, and the relationship between the church and the school is maintained by the presence of the vicar on the governing body, and the weekly involvement of the vicar in assemblies and other school activities. The children also make regular visits to church. Also, our school works closely with the London Diocesan Board for Schools (LDBS).
In the Foundation Stage, we organize the curriculum in line with the national guidelines for the Early Years and the areas of learning and development.
To achieve the principles Holy Trinity teaches children Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Children are taught a range of science topics in line with the National Curriculum which links to Geography, History, and Art units from the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). This is a challenging curriculum that focuses explicitly on children’s learning. The structure of the IPC is based on subject, personal, and internationally-minded learning goals and unique units of work that help children acquire knowledge, skills, and understanding in an active, exciting and involved classroom.
Learning with the IPC takes a global approach helping children to connect their learning to where they are living now as well as looking at the learning from the perspective of other people in other countries.
