    Uniform consultation feedback

    Further to the consultation on uniform that recently took place the governors and Executive Headteacher have considered all the responses, and have decided to make minor amendments and clarify our uniform policy without making any substantive changes. We had under 5% of the school population respond to the consultation, and of those that responded we had points raised equally from opposite
    perspectives. We did consider all the points raised and feel that as the response was low, we can conclude that on the whole parents are happy with the uniform we have. As several parents pointed out, any major changes would have cost implications and many felt the uniform was both smart and flexible. Our uniform allows us to be seen as a collective community, gives our pupils a clear identity, and is one of our unique selling points. It can also promote a sense of inclusiveness, non-discrimination and equal opportunity.


    We have had several people question supplier and quality, and the governing body had asked the school to investigate this earlier this year, a process that occurs at regular intervals. The school reviewed the quality, standards and reviews on line of all providers and came to the conclusion that our current provider was the most appropriate option considering quality, cost and service. We have subsequently
    passed on to our supplier all feedback from the survey to help them develop and improve their products and service. We thank all the parents, guardians, teachers and pupils who fed back on the consultation. We agree with feedback that in the past the standards have not always been easy to apply, as there were several unclear aspects of the uniform policy. We have therefore taken this as an opportunity to
    clarify our uniform in the grid below and will expect these standards across the school from September 2020. The PE sweatshirts in the primary are optional, and will be phased out over time in favour of the PE hoody currently worn in the secondary. Spare uniform will be kept at the school to ensure pupils without the correct uniform can be dressed appropriately. Please do read the information in the grid carefully and check your son / daughters uniform does comply with this policy. Thank you once again for your support.

    School App

    Please click on the heading above to take you to the log in for our new school App.  We launched it just this week . . . All secondary parents and pupils have a log in and should be able to access the site.  You can download the WeDuc App on your phone or any tablet as well as look on any Internet browser.  This information was emailed to all parents - so please do check out your inbox / junk box in case it is hidden.  Parents and pupils have their own separate account - and therefore separate log in.  Do contact the school office if you are unsure / having difficulties.  This will become the main method of communication with parents.  It will show parents curriculum information / timetable; attendance; home learning and academic reports.  You will be able to contact the office, and in the secondary phase email direct to each teacher.  Do not worry if you are a primary parent -this will be launched with  you before Christmas . . . watch this space.

    Proud of our Year 11 Pupils

    Well done to Trinity Yr 11 class of 2019 on their tremendous achievements this year. Pupils were delighted with their results and are now ready to move onto the next step of their academic journey and as a truly comprehensive school we are extremely pleased with the achievements we have seen all pupils make regardless of prior attainment and background. A wide range of subjects from Chinese to Computer Science achieved a pass rate of 100% grade 8 and above and many pupils of the cohort were moving onto today to complete their enrolment at a wide range of Post 16 provision including grammar schools and scholarships at Independent schools (the highest number we have ever had this year). All pupils are carrying on with studying and have achieved their target grades for A level courses and we have also have pupils going onto apprenticeships, Level 3 vocational qualifications and combined A Level with vocational courses.

    We would like to especially commend pupils who have done particularly well today in their achievement of a range of top grades – Abdulmalek with 2 grade 9’s and 3 grade 8’s amongst other excellent results, Solomon with 2 grade 9’s and 4 grade 8’s, Taliq with 4 grade 9’s and 3 grade 8’s and our Head Girl Janielle with 1 grade 9, 3 grade 8’s and 3 grade 7’s.  Janielle leaves to take up her scholarship place at Lancing College along with Cindy-Ann who achieved 3 grade 8’s and 5 grade 7’s. Well done girls on these amazing results and it is no surprise that Lancing this year gave Trinity two full scholarships with boarding as they were so impressed with you at interview. We also send congratulations to the many ex-Trinitarians who have completed their 6th form time and are now heading off to university, amongst them Jamie Cuthbert who with 4 A* is a terrific example of the success that hard work and dedication can bring you – we count you amongst our successes as well!

    Cold weather

    As we move now into autumn we move away from summer and need to remember to dress appropriately.  All pupils should be wearing school shoes, the jumper in primary and a blazer (and a jumper if they wish) in secondary.  School coats should be worn as well.  Please label all coats to ensure they do not get lost.  If we do get adverse weather please assume the school is open.  If it is not we will get a message onto the school website / send texts (please make sure we have your most up to date  mobile number) / send a message on the school App.  If you do not hear anything assume it is open as usual.
