Do you have a child due to start Reception class in September 2025? Please come and join us on Wednesday 18th September from 2pm – 3pm or Monday 7th October from 9am – 10am when we will be holding our open days. This will give prospective parents the opportunity to have a look around our facilities and grounds and meet the staff.
We look forward to welcoming the children back to school on Wednesday 4th September.
Today some of our children from Year 3 & 4 spent sometime with our friends at New Fairholme, Oswestry Coverage Care Services. The children took their favourite reading books and shared a story with the residents. The children had a lovely time and are hoping to go back and play some board games with them.
We are proud to be working in partnership with the Diocese of Lichfield and Holy Trinity Church, Oswestry, in becoming a dementia-friendly school.
Our aim is to support all in our school community (pupils, staff and families):
Our 2023-2024 School Action Plan:
1. To hold a whole school worship for pupils, staff and parents around demetia.
2. To send information leaflets out to all families
3. Develop links with New Fairholme Nursing Home
Thursday 7th March is World Book Day and children are invited to dress up as their favourite character from a book/story. Our Reading Ambassadors are keen to purchase a subscription to ‘Storytime’ magazines to share at their weekly Reading Club and in order for them to do this we will be asking for a donation of £1 towards more resources to support ‘Reading for Pleasure’ at Holy Trinity.
Children Nursery, Clee and Earls Hill classes are going to focus on the book ‘The Colour Monster’ if your child is in one of these classes they may also choose to be a character from this book. These teachers will send more information via ClassDojo.Oswestry Advertiser: Inspectors praised the academy for its core value of ‘hope’ being at the heart of the curriculum, stating that; ‘pupils love coming to Holy Trinity.’ “These responsibilities include acting as reading buddies and worship leads. Pupils learn how to make the right choices, so that they can keep themselves safe outside of school.
“The curriculum ensures pupils develop a strong sense of what hope might mean.“For example, pupils say, ‘They hope to do well in school and hope for everyone to be safe.’

The children will have lunch in school before they leave and will travel to Shrewsbury by coach from Lakeside Coaches.
The price that Mr Kenyon has negotiated is £15 per child which includes their theatre ticket and coach travel which I’m sure you will agree is an excellent price. This can be paid in instalments via Parentpay but must be paid in full by Wednesday 25th October.
Last term Clee class were very busy making a present for King Charles for his Coronation. As part of their Literacy topic they had been reading a book called ‘The Kings Pants’ and they all thought it was a good idea to send some new pants to the new King!
So, they busied themselves, decorated and coloured in some new pants for the King and parceled them up ready to post.
Mrs Meddins then escorted a handful of Clee class representatives to the local post office. The lady in the post office helped the children to weigh their parcel and gave them a label.
This week we had a VERY SPECIAL delivery from Buckingam Palace.
The King sent a very special letter of thanks to the children of Clee Class for their colourful pants and very kind letter. The children have all been so excited to receive this special letter from the palace, we have given all the children a copy.
