Amalgamation of  Holy Trinity Church of England Infant School and Holy Trinity Church of England Junior School.

On behalf of the Local Academy Council, I am delighted to update you regarding the amalgamation of the Infant and Junior schools. The Leeds Diocesan Learning Trust (LDLT) has received formal approval from the Department for Education (DfE) for the amalgamation of Holy Trinity Infant and Junior Schools, effective from September 2025. From 1^st September Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School will operate as a single primary school, welcoming pupils from Nursery through to Year 6 on one site.

Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School will include pupils from Reception through to Year 6 (ages 4 -11) whilst continuing to provide nursery class provision for children aged 3-4. The school will continue to admit up to 60 pupils a year, giving it the same Published Admissions Number (PAN). From September 2026 the school's Published Admissions Number (PAN) will be reduced to 30 pupils on admission to Reception. To clarify, this will not affect current pupils in school.

LDLT are the admission authority and have been working with North Yorkshire around admissions. We have been notified that due to amalgamation, all current students of Holy Trinity Infant School must formally apply for a place at the newly formed Holy Trinity Primary School for the academic year 2025/2026. This includes all children who have already been allocated a place for Reception in September 2025. All communication around the admission process and how to apply has been sent out to all parents and can be found below.
