TRINITY WEEKLY BULLETIN - Week commencing 21st September 2026

Whole School Updates

Use of the playground outside of school hours

  • Please can we ask for parents and carers to help us by vacating the school playground by 3:30pm each day. The only exception being if we have a Friday FOTS Tuck Shop / Cake Sale when the playground will stay open until 3:40pm. We have after school clubs running every day, as well as In2Care wraparound, meaning we still have pupils on site and for their safety we need to lock the playground.
  • Please can we also remind parents, and advise new Reception parents that children, both pupils and younger siblings, are not permitted to use the playground equipment outside of school playtimes. Our school insurance would not cover us for any accidents, so we respectfully request that you do not let children use the equipment between 3:00pm and the gates closing.

Mayor of Henley's Christmas Card Competition

Pupils are invited to submit a design for this year's Mayor of Henley Christmas card competition. The theme is ''This Christmas we celebrate peace, love and trees for Henley and the world''.  The winning design will be printed on the Mayor's official Christmas card. The winner will also be invited to help the Mayor switch on the Christmas lights and their family will receive tickets to the pantomime at the Kenton Theatre.

  • Entries must be original, creative and colourful
  • No glitter or things that protrude
  • A5 paper, landscape or portrait
  • Entries to be submitted to the Town Hall by Monday 2nd November
  • Available to pupils aged 5 to 11 who live or go to school in Henley

Calling any artists

We need your help. If there are any children who love art, who would like to design a poster for our Instagram to promote our upcoming open day, please contact the school office on office.3254@trinity.oxon.sch.uk. This would need to be done in their own time at home, but we would really appreciate it!

FOTS Social - Thursday 1st October at Coppa Club

The FOTS Committee would like to extend an invitation to all Trinity parents and carers to come along to Coppa Club Henley on Thursday 1st October from 7:45pm.  Come along for relaxed evening of drinks, nibbles and good company! It’s a great chance to meet other parents and find out a little more about what FOTS has planned for the year ahead. We would love to see you there!

🌈✨ NEON DAY! ✨🌈

Get ready to brighten up the school for Neon Day on Friday 16th October! We’re asking the children to come to school dressed in their brightest, boldest neon colours to help raise money for FOTS.  The class with the highest participation will win 15 minutes of extra playtime — so let’s see which class can glow the brightest! 💚💛🩷🧡

A suggested donation of £2 per child would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping us make it a colourful and fun day while supporting our school! 💫

Pray for Trinity School - Friday 25th September at 2:45pm

As we start the new term, a group of parents are meeting together on Friday 25th September at 2:45 pm to pray together for the school. Mrs Whittle will be there to share some specific needs. Please come to the school office if you would like to join us. All are very welcome!

Presentation about Phonics and Twiggy Wednesdays

As per the email sent on 15/09/26, parents / carers are invited into school on Monday 21st September from 3:15pm to hear a presentation from the Early Years teachers on the way we teach phonics and how you can support your child at home with this, as well as an overview of Twiggy Wednesdays, which we hope to start on Wednesday 23rd September.

If you are able to volunteer to support at Twiggy Wednesdays, please CLICK HERE.

Please could we also ask a few parents to help us after the meeting, as we need to move a large wooden train from one side of the playground to the other. Thank you in advance!
