We are delighted to be able to offer a very special workshop by Nixon & Nixon for parents / carers to attend. Taking place on Tuesday 12th March between 7:00 - 8:00pm, the workshop will inform parents about the Flex-it! approach, which we will be introducing across the school to support children's mental health and well being.
Flex-it! will support children with managing their anxiety and developing emotional flexibility. The Flex-it! approach is intended to improve children's physical and mental health whilst developing stronger relationships with adults and their peers. We are hoping that this approach will support the children to become more aware of how they respond to and manage situations, helping them to regulate their emotions.
We will be asking parents who attend this training for a voluntary contribution of £5.00

At Trinity we are mindful of children's mental health all year round. To mark Children's Mental Health Week from 5 - 11 February 2024 we are celebrating this year's theme ''Your Voice Matters'' with a whole assembly and PSHE lessons that will be tailored to how children express themselves and about being listened to.
Henley Youth Festival is a great way for children to show off their talents, whether that's performing on a stage or being creative on paper. This year's theme is My Favourite Things and there are competitions for musicians, artists, performers and aspiring filmmakers. We were delighted to welcome Alfie Hay, former Head of Trinity Primary School and one of the Festival's original founders, into school to talk to pupils about the exciting opportunities open to them.
Santa paid a special visit to School and visited each class. Children had the chance to tell Santa about their plans for Christmas, what is on their lists and all about the antics of the class elves, most of whom were known to Santa as being particularly naughty elves. Luckily, all of the pupils are on his good list this year.
Year 3, 4 and 5 pupils took part in Tennis Oxfordshire's second competition at Henley Tennis Club. Along with two other local primary schools, Trinity were lucky enough to be invited to compete in the final and emerged victorious in both the Year 3 and Year 5 finals. All pupils at Trinity also benefited from tennis coaching during PE lessons, thanks to local coach Tom.

On Thursday 16th November, Trinity held a wonderful Day of Languages. We dressed up in clothes representing different countries and learnt lots of new words and phrases in languages from all around the world. We also found out about some of the different countries and cultures represented in our school community and it was fantastic to welcome so many family members into school on this day and learn so much from them! Bravo Trinity!
Congratulations to Beth Evans for being nominated for the 'Best Teacher / TA' in the Henley Herald's Community Champion Award.

Please CLICK HERE to vote for Beth Evans. She is such a wonderful teacher and colleague, so we would love her to get recognition from the wider community for the amazing impact she makes on the children here at Trinity.
Trinity pupil Ben has been nominated for BBC Oxford's Make A Difference Bravery Award. 10-year-old Ben lives with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), which is life limiting. DMD is one of the most common fatal genetic disorders to affect children.
On Thursday 7th September the school celebrated World Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Day (WDMD) with a non-uniform day and a special assembly, with Ben as our star. The theme for WDMD 2023 is 'Breaking Barriers', something that Ben has done consistently throughout his time at Trinity.
