As a school serving a significant RAF community, we are proud of the strong support we provide to service families and the welcoming environment we create for all pupils. As part of an ambitious and forward-thinking Trust, Holy Trinity benefits from established curriculum partnerships with schools across the Trust. This collaborative approach provides opportunities for shared expertise, professional development, curriculum innovation, and strong leadership support.

Our vision and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens. We believe that children learn from relationships, everyday classroom interaction and from examples set by our staff. All our staff promote core values of, Friendship, Honesty, Forgiveness, Respect, Thankfulness & Responsibility.
