Mission Statement
Holy Trinity is committed to providing to all pupils, particularly the more vulnerable, the highest level of pastoral care in a safe, caring and attractive learning environment. The school holds all pupils in the highest esteem and considers it essential that all play a full and integrated part in the life of the school.
The school believes in the holistic development of the child to his/her potential. It will provide a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum. Holy Trinity is committed to having high expectations for academic achievement, good conduct, sport and the creative arts. The school has identified extra curricular activities suited to the interests of all pupils as being of particular value in the life of the school.
The school will seek to promote attitudes and values according to the Catholic tradition in harmony with the school chaplain. The school will endeavour to foster personal and collective integrity, among staff, pupils and in all aspects of the work of the school.
Holy Trinity regards our parents as valued and respected educational partners who are made to feel welcome at the school. The school will provide regular feedback to parents on the progress of pupils and, offer to them any other relevant pastoral guidance. The school places considerable importance upon its links with the parish – especially with regard to sacramental preparation, The Mass and communications in the parish bulletin. Holy Trinity is proud of its cross community links and its links to feeder, second level schools and outside agencies.
Positive Behaviour
At Holy Trinity Primary School, we are committed to fostering a positive, respectful, and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and supported. Our behaviour policy is designed to promote excellent behaviour, ensuring that all children can learn in a calm, safe, and supportive setting. Children are recognised in our ‘Pupil of the Week’ initiative and through our Peer Mentoring program.
Our approach to behaviour management is rooted in the following principles:
Respect: We encourage all members of our school community to show respect for themselves, others, and the school environment.
Responsibility: Children are taught to take responsibility for their actions and understand the impact they have on others.
Kindness: We promote kindness and empathy, ensuring that every child feels safe and cared for.
Collaboration: We believe in working together—children, staff, and parents—to create a harmonious and supportive school atmosphere.
Excellence: We strive for excellence in behaviour, recognising and celebrating positive actions and attitudes.
We aim to create a nurturing and stimulating environment where all children can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Implementation
- Behaviour Expectations: Clear expectations for behaviour are communicated to all children and reinforced regularly.
- Positive Reinforcement: Good behaviour is acknowledged and rewarded through various means, such as praise, certificates, and special privileges.
- Consequences: Consistent and fair consequences are applied for unacceptable behaviour, ensuring that children understand the impact of their actions.
- Support Systems: Additional support is provided for children who struggle with behaviour, including counselling and tailored interventions.
Parental Involvement
We believe that a strong partnership with parents is essential for promoting positive behaviour. Parents are kept informed about their child's behaviour and are encouraged to work with the school to address any issues.
