Learning together with God’s love
Vision
We aspire to be a happy, confident and caring community where children are motivated to achieve their full potential in a supportive learning environment, underpinned by a strong Christian ethos.
Values
We asked the children to explain our school values in their words:
Perseverance - Determination is important and if something is challenging, we need to try, try and try again. Remember to say to yourself “You can’t do or understand something yet, but just keep going and you will, with God’s help!”
Aspiration – We always reach for the stars and aim for our goals. We challenge ourselves and always aspire to be the very best we can be. A positive attitude makes good things happen for us.
Respect – We treat other people the way we would like to be treated. We respect everyone in our school regardless of who they are and where they have come from. Everyone is included in our school and is an important part of our school.
Teamwork - There’s no “I” in a team! If we work together, we can achieve more and more. When we are a whole school team we are like the glue that sticks us together and that makes us stronger.
1 John 4: 16: 'God is love and those who live in love live in God, and God lives in them'.
Safeguarding Statement
Holy Trinity CE (A) Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
This means that we have a Child Protection Policy and procedures in place which we refer to in our prospectus. Parents and carers are welcome to read the safeguarding policies on request or on our website below.
Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child’s welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with his/her parents/carers first unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child’s welfare. The procedures that we follow have been laid down by the Local Safeguarding Children's Board of West Sussex.
Our Designated Safeguarding Leads are:
Mrs MacGregor (Headteacher) head@htprimary.co.uk
Mrs Saunders (Deputy Headteacher) esaunders@htprimary.co.uk
Mrs Howard (Inclusion Manager) lhoward@htprimary.co.uk
They also can be contacted via the school office.
Prevent Duty at Holy Trinity School
We are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our pupils. As a school we recognise that safeguarding against radicalisation is no different from safeguarding against any other vulnerability.
All staff are expected to uphold and promote the fundamental principles of British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
On 1 July 2015 the Prevent duty (section 26) of The Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 came into force. This duty places the responsibility on local authorities to have due regard for the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism.
As part of our commitment to safeguarding and child protection we fully support the government's Prevent Strategy.
We also follow the guidance as laid out in the DfE document Keeping Children Safe in Education - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/keeping-children-safe-in-education--2

Help With E-Safety
Many adults can find it difficult to advise their children on how to stay safe on the Internet and when using mobile phones. Chat rooms, Facebook and MSN are all attractive and familiar to young people but they often lack the maturity to recognise that feeling safe is not the same as being safe. Holy Trinity School has linked some useful resources for adults and children to its website.
The SMART Rules
Holy Trinity Primary School encourages students to follow the SMART rules, which are recommended by Childline International and KIDSmart.
We encourage all adults with a responsibility for the care of young people to support these rules. You can learn about the SMART rules by accessing the “Know It All” resource below where we have also included a copy of the SMART rules.
We can help
If you need further help on matters concerning your child’s safety online, or are concerned about your child’s use of information technology, then we are always willing to offer support.
We look forward to working with you to keep your child safe and responsible in their use of information technology
