Gee Cross Holy Trinity Church of England (VC) Primary and Nursery School

Welcome to our school's website

At Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School, within a happy and safe environment, we strive to unlock the hidden treasures within each child. Our purpose, through a Christian ethos is to empower confident, creative, independent learners to become responsible, caring, inspirational members of society.

We value children's well being and their education above all else, and put the needs of our children at the heart of all our decision making. By motivating and nurturing children to be independent, confident learners, allowing them to take on the challenges of the future, upholding Christian values within an inspiring and creative learning environment.

By developing a love for lifelong learning and working closely with families, we aim to enable each child to achieve their potential. This is underpinned by our Christian values which provide a strong foundation for all that we do and achieve.

We are an outward looking school, having positive partnerships with other schools to provide collaborative and challenging opportunities. We encourage our pupils to think about local, national and world issues and develop ways in which we, as a school community, can help.

Outdoor Play and Learning 2024

On Thursday 27th June 2024, the school community took part in an Outdoor play and learning day. A large number of parents, carers, PTFA and governors joined in the first session - tremendous fun was had by all! Please visit the OPAL page in the pupils section of the website for more information. Click on the link here.

Collective Worship

The Summer term 2 Christian value we will be exploring looks at the global dimension of 'Hope.'

Christians see their hope in God’s promise ‘that love and goodness have, and will ultimately, overcome all evil’. This hope is manifested in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Through Collective Worship, we will be thinking about how, as a school:

We help children to understand that there is a chance of a new beginning and a fresh start in every situation.
We help children to understand how they can play their part in a more sustainable environment and a better society.
We help children to understand how they are citizens of the world and that this citizenship brings challenges and responsibilities.
We promote a vision of a hopeful future.

Visit the About Us 'Christian values' tab to explore the family booklet on compassion.
