As a Church School our Christian ethos underpins everything that we do. We ensure that our children understand that they are special and unique, created in the image of God. We meet together daily as a school family to worship Him, sing songs together, learn stories from the bible and pray together. We have strong links with our local churches and welcome many visitors into school from them to participate in a wide range of activities. Please click on the icons below to read more about these aspects and to share in some of our special Christian celebrations. 

Everything we do at Trinity is underpinned by our vision and values.  We believe that children who attend Trinity First School will have the opportunity to grow as individuals in a happy and secure environment.

At Trinity we believe that every child is unique and special, made in the image of God.

Nurturing and developing our children based on our core principles of faith, hope and love is at the heart of what we do. Faith in God and His love for us, faith in those around us leading to us feeling safe and secure, faith in our own abilities and potential. Hope that with God walking with us, whatever challenges arise, we will overcome and succeed, as individuals, collaboratively and as contributors to the wider community. Love for God and His creations, love for ourselves and our individuality, love for those all around us in all their glorious diversity.

‘And now these three things remain, faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.’

1 Corinthians 13:13

Faith

          In God - We trust in God and believe that all things are possible through our Christian faith.

          Integrity - Being honest and showing our strong moral principles through our actions.

         Justice - Taking responsibility for our actions and accepting that our choices choose the outcomes.

              “If you can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!” Mark 9:23

Hope

         Positivity - How we as individuals chose to respond to external circumstances.

         Optimism - Taking the view that everything will work out according to God’s plan and all will be well.

         Perseverance - Valuing the ability to keep going and overcome difficulties when growing and        developing ourselves is more challenging.

 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

Love

         Forgiveness - Understanding that we must forgive ourselves and others as we make mistakes.

         Compassion - Showing sensitivity to the needs of others and going out of our way to act with kindness.

         Thankfulness - Being grateful and appreciating God’s blessings to us all, the gifts from others and appreciating what and who we have.

 ‘ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.’ 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

How we live out our vision and values.

Our vision and values are embedded in the culture and everyday life of the school. We want to develop this further by encouraging and supporting our children in becoming courageous advocates. Faith is needed to stand up for what they believe in, Hope that they can make a difference, and Love for those that find themselves in need. 

At some point in our lives we all face challenge and need support to help us overcome these barriers. We teach our children that it is important to help others regardless of where they come from, or what their challenges are. 

At Trinity we want our children to be courageous advocates not just locally, but nationally and globally. We want them to have the confidence to discuss and debate big ideas, to challenge injustice and engage in activities that can bring about change on some level. 

Below are some examples of how we live out our vision and values:
