Teacher Nominations Open

Would you like to nominate your child's teacher / support assistant for the Henley Herald's 2026 Community Champions Award? If there's a member of our staff that stands out to you as going above and beyond, we would be so grateful if you would nominate them for this award.  Details can be found below and nominations close on Friday 30th October:

Nominations open for 2026 Community Champion Awards - Henley Herald

Coats

Please send your child to school with a coat. Children go outside several time a day, unless it is raining heavily, so they need a coat in school every day. If your child has recently lost a coat, please send them to the office as we have several un-named coats that we would like to return.

School Fund

Despite our school being full (we receive funding per pupil), like most state-funded primary schools, Trinity has had to find ways to supplement its government funding. Despite our best efforts to manage budget cuts, additional support is now essential to maintain the high standard of education we are committed to delivering. To help us continue this, we are asking parents and carers to consider making a regular monthly donation to the Trinity Primary School Education Fund.

We believe in transparency, so every time the School Fund is used, contributors will be informed about how much was spent and what it was used for. For more details please visit www.trinityprimaryschool.org/fund and if you are able to make a donation please click on the DONATE link.

We need your vote 

Congratulations to 1, 2, 3 Sing Choir lead by the wonderful Mrs Calderbank for reaching the National Finals of the School Song Competition.  It's too expensive for schools to travel for a live final, so this year the shortlisted entries have been uploaded to their website and you have the opportunity to vote for Trinity's entry. Regardless of whether they win or not, this is a fantastic achievement, especially considering they wrote the song themselves.  Please vote by 30th October: The School Vision Vote

Head lice

Please check your child/ren for head lice and treat as per the NHS guidelines.  Wet combing is the most effective way to get rid of lice and will need to be done at least twice per week for two weeks to be effective.

Term ends Thursday 22nd October at 3:15pm

Please remember that we have an inset day for staff only on Friday 23rd October, meaning the last day of Term 1 will be Thursday 22nd October. Please note it is normal pick up time of 3:15pm.

FOTS updates

  • Neon Day – This was an incredibly tough decision, due to the fantastic effort all round, but congratulations to MURPHY class for winning best dressed class during NEON DAY. Pupils in Murphy class will get an extra 15 minutes of playtime next week.
  • Glow in the Dark disco - Last shout out to get your tickets for the Glow in the Dark disco: DISCO TICKETS.
  • FOTS Santa Fun Run - on the last day of next term, Friday 18th December, FOTS will be offering pupils an exciting opportunity to take part in the FIRST EVER FOTS Santa Fun Run. Sponsorship forms will be coming home next week and we hope many pupils will take part.  School ends at 1:15pm and the run will start at 1:30pm. The FOTS team will be on the playground selling refreshments and all participants will be given a Santa hat. The run will take place on our school field. More details will follow over the coming weeks, but please make a note of the date.

Thank you 

Thank you to all of the parents who gave up their time this week to accompany our pupils to the Henley Literary Festival.  Without your help, we wouldn't be able to facilitate trips like this.

Early Years (Reception)

Stay and Play

Parents / carers are invited into school on Friday 16th October, between 9:00am - 10:00am for a Stay and Play session. These are optional sessions for anyone who would like to come along to see their child in their classroom to see what we get up to.  We offer this three times per academic year, so don't worry if you can't make it this time.  If you do plan to attend, please sign in with the school office by 8:55am.


Key Stage 1 (Years 1 & 2)

Paddington's Passport

Our new 'Learning Means the World' topic for the rest of this half-term is 'Paddington's Passport'. If any families have anything related to Paddington Bear (e.g. books ) please send them in with your child for them to show their class. As our topic relates to travel, families are also invited to email their class teacher with pictures of where they have travelled together so that we can share them in class.

Lower Key Stage 2 (Years 3 & 4)

Forest School - Term 2

After half term, Year 3 and 4 will be doing Forest School. For details about what is involved, please visit our FOREST SCHOOL page. Ideally, clothes should be dark-coloured, unbranded and long-sleeved (with waterproofs if wet).  Secondhand PE kit from the FOTS uniform sale is ideal. Please can we request that children don't use this as an opportunity to show off their most fashionable clothes.

For these sessions to take place, we require one parent to cover the two hour session, or two parents to each cover an hour. Please contact your class rep to volunteer.

  • Monday (1:00pm - 3:00pm) - Cowell class
  • Tuesday (1:00pm - 3:00pm) - Pilkey class
  • Thursday (1:00pm - 3:00pm) - Coelho

Please note: this starts from the first week back, so the first session will be Cowell class on Monday 2nd November.
