Gee Cross Holy Trinity Church of England (VC) Primary and Nursery School

Welcome to our school's website

At Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School, within a happy and safe environment, we strive to unlock the hidden treasures within each child. Our purpose, through a Christian ethos is to empower confident, creative, independent learners to become responsible, caring, inspirational members of society.

We value children's well being and their education above all else, and put the needs of our children at the heart of all our decision making. By motivating and nurturing children to be independent, confident learners, allowing them to take on the challenges of the future, upholding Christian values within an inspiring and creative learning environment.

By developing a love for lifelong learning and working closely with families, we aim to enable each child to achieve their potential. This is underpinned by our Christian values which provide a strong foundation for all that we do and achieve.

We are an outward looking school, having positive partnerships with other schools to provide collaborative and challenging opportunities. We encourage our pupils to think about local, national and world issues and develop ways in which we, as a school community, can help.
