Early Years

Welcome to our Early Years

At Holy Trinity Primary Academy and Nursery our practice is underpinned by our core Christian values. Our motto ‘Hope for ourselves, others and the world’ underpins our vision in EYFS at Holy Trinity.

On this page you will find links to documents which explain our EYFS curriculum in more detail. At Holy Trinity we have developed a sequential and progressive curriculum designed to meet the needs of the children within the Academy.

Here is more information about how we learn in Early Years at Holy Trinity:
