Dear Parents and Carers,

We are celebrating this week that we have been recognised in The Times Top 1000 primary schools for the wonderful SATS results our pupils achieved in Year 6 in May 2025. We are truly proud of our achievements, and this is one to be celebrated for sure!

It was wonderful to have a hall full of families yesterday morning to revel in Reception Class production of Our First Nativity. They did brilliantly! Thank you for joining us and for your generous donations to Transforming Trinity.

Illness

Various illnesses are circulating and it can be difficult to know whether your child should come to school or not.  Don't forget:

• you should not send your child in to school with a high temperature controlled by Calpol and/or Nurofen
• please leave 48 hours between any episode of gastric upset and returning to school
• poorly children don't enjoy school

If in doubt there's a useful guide from the NHS here called 'Should my child go to school/nursery today?
