Welcome to our Latest News!
Today saw the arrival of our two Christmas Trees supplied by Tates Garden Centre.
They are sitting proud in both halls and awaiting their decorations. Children across both sites will be adding the decorations they bring in from home on Monday - there may well be some festive music playing to help us on the way!
Watch this space for the trees in all their decorated glory coming soon! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Look what we made on the playground!
It took us ages to build and we all did a bit of it - great team work!
Thank you to everyone who supported Children In Need today!
This week Miss Redden and Mrs Steward, our Y2 teachers, led a collective worship around the theme of bullying. They gave us lots to think about, including what is and isn't bullying, what to do if you think you or someone else is being bullied, and how being great friends can help us to promote the message of no tolerance to bullies.
We had a game of 'true and false' and used our 5 fingers on one hand to think about 5 people who can help us in school if we are worried.
To finish off, Miss Redden read us a story called The Cloud which is a story promoting friendship and kindness.
Thank you to the Y6 parents who attended our meeting this week. It was a great opportunity to share expectations for Y6 pupils and 'bust' some of the myths surrounding Y6 SATs. The news that Y6 pupils are invited into school early during SATS week to join together in a communal breakfast proved popular news as ever!
The presentation used on the evening is available below for your reference.
Please do ask if you have any questions regarding statutory assessments in Y6 - Mrs Sanderson, Mrs Bell-Walker and Mrs Gomes all have a wealth of experience in administering and leading SATs and are happy to discuss all aspects of the assessments.
We were incredibly proud of our pupils this morning as the school attended our Act of Remembrance in Spa Gardens. Our service was led by Padre Rev Stephen Wilson. As Jackson lowered our Little Heros flag, the Last Post was sounded and the whole school fell silent. The silence was broken by the Reveille and Liam with the words;
When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave their today.
Poignant readings from Archie, Sophie, Lillianna, Mickey and Mrs Jones made us reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of the names listed on the Spa Gardens memorial. Mr Maher, Daisy and Klay laid wreaths as a mark of Remembrance from our Holy Trinity Community. Rev Michelle ended our service with a blessing.
100% in November! Any pupil who has 100% attendance from Monday 6th November – Thursday 30th November will be entered into a prize draw! The winner will receive a family day ticket to Thorp Perrow. The class with the highest attendance 100% will receive a Christmas goodie bag!
Congratulations Pete!
Pete won a community award at the St Wilfred's Stars ceremony held at Ripon Cathedral! Pete received recognition for his fantastic contribution to community life in our city!
Well done Pete, we are tremendously proud of you!
Today, Mrs Calland-Brooke led a worship at KS2 that encouraged us to think about having faith and
trust in God. We heard a bible story called 'The Storm On The Lake' and we talked about how we can put our trust and faith in God when times are tricky. Some of the children from Nidd class helped Mrs Calland-Brooke with her worship and did a great job of reminding us what trust is and what it is to be trustworthy!

At Holy Trinity we are inspired by the story of the Good Samaritan to help our neighbours, both locally, nationally and globally. During a visit to South Africa, Rev Michelle visited a mission which helps new mothers. Many new mothers arrive at the mission in need of basic provisions for their newborn babies.
Next week, head of this mission outreach, Ghila is visiting Ripon. The school would like to support the work of Ghila's mission. We are asking for donations of good quality pre-loved baby clothes (birth to 6 months). Ghila will collect these and take them back to South Africa. Please bring any clothes you can donate to school by Wednesday 25th October.
