Newsletter 34 - 14th June 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

Sports Day

A great celebration of the children and their sporting abilities! It was so well supported by families and this makes such a huge difference to your children. The House Captains did such a fantastic job of leading the Reception and KS1 events – they are a credit to their families.

 

As ever, a thank you to Mrs Tomes and Miss Harding for organising and running the events.

 

Meet the Teacher

This chance to meet your child’s teacher for September is a great way to ensure a smooth transition into the new school year. The children will be working in their new classrooms with their new teacher on the morning of 16th July. However, in order to help prepare them for that we have the chance for you to meet the teacher too:

 

  • Tuesday 9th July at either 2.45 – 3.10pm or 3.20 – 3.45pm

 

We will be informing parents of staffing for September in due course.

 

Enjoy your weekend,

Mrs Griffith

On Tuesday this week a group of Year 5 and 6 pupils attended a Maths Competition at St George's school in Ascot against 5 other schools.  The group completed lots of tricky Maths problems and came first out of the six schools by a very large margin!  Well done to William, Elliot and Luke from Y5 and Maya, Amelie and Charlie from Y6 for your incredible achievement!

 

Goals Galore

On Monday after school, a team of our year 6 pupils went to a netball competition at Charters School. They played against the two teams there from South Ascot Village School. They played fantastically well and scored many goals, winning both matches. A special thank you to Xander and Inez who stepped in at the last minute to make up numbers. All children rotated frequently, some playing in positions they never had before. They were a pleasure to take. Congratulations to Neive, Amelie and Edie who received certificates from the Charters leaders for demonstrating their values of unison, equality and excellence.     

Cricket at St George's School

On Wednesday afternoon, a team of pupils from Years 5 & 6 attended a cricket competition at St. George’s.  They played really well, had great fun and were fantastic ambassadors of Holy Trinity. Well done boys! Thank you to Mrs O’Neill for accompanying the boys for the afternoon.

PTA NEWS

The PTA is extremely excited to share that we are nearing the £20,000 mark for funds raised this year to date.  We are beyond grateful for all the support this wonderful school community has provided and we look forward to seeing you all at the Summer Fair on Saturday 29th June for our last Hurrah!

 

Urgent Appeal

Our PTA shed is nearing the end of its life and we are worried it will soon fall over into the Reception play ground.  We have funds to replace this.  We are appealing to anyone within our school community that would be in a position to help us see this project through - source a new shed, remove the old one and supervise the installation of a new one. If there is anyone able and willing to assist us with this project we would be most grateful.  Please contact us via the school or pop an email to htpta@outlook.com and we will be in touch.

Special Educational Needs and Disability Register for Children and Young People

 

All local authorities must have a record or register of children with Special Educational Needs and / or Disabilities (SEND) in their area. This is in the Children Act 1989. Our Special Educational Needs and Disability Register is the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead's way of doing this.

 

The register helps us and local health services understand:

  • how many children and young people with special educational needs live in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead
  • the types of needs they have

 

The register is an opportunity for us to hear from children, young people, parents and carers. We use this information to plan and develop better services.

 

Everyone on the register will benefit from:

  • Information about support, services, activities and events.
  • Information aimed at young people with disabilities.
  • Opportunities to have your say about the services that are important to you.
  • The knowledge that your anonymous statistical data is helping us to plan and improve services.

 

Who should register?

If you live in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, we encourage anyone whose family includes a child or young person whose has a special educational need* or disability** to register. This would include:

  • Pre school children whose learning and development is significantly delayed.
  • Pre school children who have been identified as needing extra support, for instance, in a childcare setting.
  • School age children or young people who are receiving support for a special educational need at their school or educational setting. Children may be on the SEN Support register in their school.
  • Children or young people who have an Education Health and Care plan issued through Achieving for Children.
  • Young people who are on a supported internship, traineeship or apprenticeship.
  • Young people over 13 years of age can register independently and can remain registered until their 25th birthday.

* Definition of Special Educational Needs on the IPSEA website

** Definition of disability under the Equality Act Act 2010 

 

How to register ?

You can register by emailing disabilityregisterRBWM@achievingforchildren.org.uk and requesting to be sent an online application form.

 

Disability Awareness Card

Some families of children and young people on the register, or the young person themselves if over the age of 13 years, might wish to request a Disability Awareness Card. This is an officially produced card that will show the name and year of birth of the child or young person. It will confirm that the child or young person is registered as having a disability on the local Special Educational Needs and Disability Register. This can be useful as identification if your disability isn’t obvious. This might help you access concessions or discounts that are offered for disabled people and their carers when out and about in the community.

 

How do I request a Disability Awareness Card?

You can request the card by ticking the box on the form when you apply to join the register.

 

Please email disabilityregisterRBWM@achievingforchildren.org.uk to find out more information
