Holy Trinity C of E Primary School

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are pleased to let you know that we will be extending our Breakfast Club from September 2026.

Children can be dropped off between 8:00am and 8:30am. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept arrivals after 8:30am.

Please note that the Breakfast Club will not begin until September 2026.

If you would like your child to attend Breakfast Club from September, please speak to the school office.

Dear Parents and Carers,

Today, the children spent the morning with their new teachers as part of our transition arrangements for September. They had the opportunity to get to know their teachers, spend time in their new classrooms and begin preparing for the next stage of their learning. The children were a credit to our school, and it was lovely to see how excited they were about the year ahead.

We have carefully planned our staffing for next year to ensure every child has the best possible experience. We are pleased to share the teaching staff for each year group below.

If you have any questions, class teachers will be available for a short chat at the end of the school day. If you feel you would benefit from a longer discussion, please contact the school office and we will be happy to arrange a meeting at a convenient time. During the summer holidays, please talk positively with your child about moving into their new year group. It is normal for some children to feel a little worried about change, but these feelings usually disappear very quickly once they return to school.

As we come to the end of successful academic year, I would like to thank you for your continued support. The partnership between home and school is incredibly important, and we are grateful for everything you do to support your children's learning and development.

Best wishes, 

Mrs Kavanagh

Dear parents/carers,

I am pleased to inform you that as a school, we are engaging in the Emotionally Friendly Settings process.

Emotionally Friendly Settings (EFS) is an initiative developed by Salford Educational Psychology Service in collaboration with schools. The aim of this process is to promote positive emotional wellbeing in school and identify and support any difficulties that arise early. The EFS process focuses on 4 key areas:

• Staff Wellbeing and School Ethos
• Classroom Practice
• Assessing Children’s Needs
• Supporting Individual Children

As part of this process we have been asked to collect data from children and staff in school to help measure the impact of this work. Children may be asked to complete a short questionnaire online or take part in small group conversations to gain their views about how they think emotional wellbeing is promoted in school. Your child’s name will not be collected and it will not be possible for them to be identified from the data gathered. Tameside Educational Psychology Service may support us with this data collection.

If you would prefer for your child to not be involved in the data collection process you are able to opt-out using the attached slip. Please print out that attached letter and bring it into school. If you do not complete the slip, it will be presumed that you are happy for your child to be involved in completing the questionnaire and for their views to be incorporated into the data collected by the school.

If you would like to find out more about Emotionally Friendly Settings, please visit the website: www.emotionallyfriendly.co.uk

If you have any further questions about the project, please do get in touch.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Hockey

Deputy Headteacher
