Several pupils, including Head Student Max (pictured), gathered in the Market Place on Sunday to mark Remembrance Day. Across our school, all pupils coloured in a poppy and wrote the name of someone who lost their life in WW1 on the poppy and these will be taken to our Church Service on Tuesday where we gather as a school community to commemorate the service and sacrifice of those in the Armed Forces.
Rosie Tong, an ex-Trinity pupil came to see us on Thursday 15th October to discuss her latest adventure which really is a tremendous challenge. In December, Rosie and two of her friends will be rowing 3,000 miles (equivalent to 48,000 football pitches) across the Atlantic Ocean from San Sebastian De La Gomera to Nelson's Dockyard in Antigua. Our children were very interested to hear about the challenges Rosie will face (meeting the wildlife, rowing day and night for approximately 50 days, rowing for two hours, resting for two hours and having very limited food/drink) and William in Year 6 gave us a great demonstration on the rowing machine saying he could feel his legs and arms aching after only a minute, and he thought it would be really tough for Rosie.
If you would like to donate, please do so on the following fundraising page: https://www.givewheel.com/fundraising/7889/row-with-the-flow-worlds-toughest-row-atlantic-202/
We wish Rosie and her friends the very best of luck in her future challenge.

Year 6 enjoyed an amazing week away at the Calshot residential, taking part in activities such as sailing, kayaking, aero trail, shooting, skiing and more. The trip gave them wonderful opportunities to develop their communication, teamwork and resilience skills. The children had a fantastic time, made great memories and strengthened their friendships. For a small snapshot of what they got up to please visit our GALLERY page.
Congratulations to the 18 children who have been voted to represent their class this year, by being their class representatives on the School Council. The School Council meets at least once per half term and this is a great opportunity for pupils to have their thoughts, opinions and suggestions heard and to vote on things that affect them directly.
We would love to welcome prospective new families to come to our open morning, 9:30am to 11:00am, on Tuesday 14th October. This is a great opportunity for anyone who is considering Trinity for their child to come along and see our friendly school. There will be a tour and talk with the Headteacher and a chance to meet some of our team and pupils and ask questions. There is no need to register - just come along on the 14th.
What an amazing event! The children really took on board TREDS values of rugby and demonstrated excellent skills during the event.
Thank you to all the Year 6 students who were extremely supportive and engaging with the children. Huge thanks to the Henley Hawks coaches for running such an inspirational event and thanks to Mrs Evans for organising it all.
It was fantastic to see everyone taking part even though it was hot.
As part of Greener Henley Week, children were asked to write poems about the river and Enzo's poem was selected as runner-up. Enzo and family were invited along to the prize-giving and poetry reading ceremony and Enzo read his poem out loud. Well done to everyone who entered.
KS1 pupil Oscar had the idea to hold a bake sale outside his house to raise money for an Owl Sanctuary in Cornwall, which he visited over the holidays. He was really inspired by the literary topic last term and has been passionate about owls ever since. He and his brother sold cakes, cookies and home-grown vegetables and raised over £145 for the Sanctuary. Well done to Oscar for living our school vision.
To end the term, Trinity School took part in a 'Spring Fun Run' to raise money for our partnership school in Uganda - New Brainstorm School. Every child decorated a headband and all took part in a run around the field, which meant that someone was running throughout the whole school day. Thank you so much for your donations so far.

On Wednesday 21st May, several KS2 girls joined Sacred Heart, Badgemore and Valley Road in a Football Tournament at Henley YMCA. Year 5/6 came second against a very strong team from Valley Road, showing incredible sportsmanship and great teamwork. Year 3/4 came first and second, and with just one point in it a fabulous fourth.
It was a fantastic afternoon, despite the thunderstorm and heavy rain and Mrs Evans was really proud of everyone. Well done girls!

On Sunday 18th May several families came together at Stonor Park to run 340m (EYFS), 780m (KS1), 920m (LKS2) or 1850m (UKS2 and adults). Trinity children (and parents) did remarkably well and there were several Trinity families on the podium. A huge well done to everyone who participated, and a special mention to Oscar who encouraged his sister, in Y1, all the way around the course, even running alongside as she came in first.
It was fantastic to see so many Trinity families - next year, let’s try for the trophy with the most participants from one school. Well done everyone.

On Thursday 8th May, pupils came into school dressed in red, white and blue to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day. Children shared family stories in class about people who lived through the War. Lessons included making bunting. Pupils from our school council were invited to go to the Town Hall for a special event marking VE Day, which included a fish and chip lunch. Thank you to everyone who donated to the British Legion.
