Dear Parents and Carers 28th March 2024
Eggcellent Fun in STEM Week

Mrs Lambert set the whole school a range of challenges during STEM week, all involving eggs! Much fun was had and
much mess made amidst all the great scientific learning that went on.
NPL Assembly

Four scientists from the National Physical Laboratory came to school on Monday morning to amaze us with some
demonstrations using liquid nitrogen. It was also fascinating to hear about their diverse areas of expertise in the world
of science.

Easter Egg Competition

The Easter Egg competition proved very difficult to judge for our Chairs of Governors due the extremely high standards
and great ideas – here is just a small sample. I’d also like to thank the children for giving me inspiration for my
retirement.
International Food Festival

Wow! What an amazing day we had sharing our cultures and heritages amongst our community. The children loved
having the opportunity to experience first hand how rich our wonderful community at HT is. I really can’t thank you
enough for all of your contributions, what an amazing and supportive parent body! A HUGE thank you to our HT
Friends group that have helped to organise this event. It was such a success. Please do come and join us at our next
coffee morning /afternoon where we will be catching up and sharing ideas for our International Day in the summer.

Miss Jobbins Marathon Effort
Miss Jobbins (Bumblebee Class Year 2) will be running the London Marathon in April 2024 for the Princess Alice
Hospice. She is hoping to raise over £2750 (or more!) for an outstanding charity which supported her and her family
during an incredibly difficult time. ‘Their care, dedication and support was unlike anything we had ever received’ she
quoted. Please donate if you can by using the link below or scan the QR code:

Easter Egg Hunt

Final word….
I want to take this opportunity to say thank you for sharing your wonderful children with me during my time at Holy
Trinity. I have loved getting to know them, and many of you as well, and feel privileged to have ended my career in
teaching at such a wonderful school that is part of such a special community. Thank you too for the very generous gift
that I received from you today – most unexpected and so very kind.
I am pleased to be handing over to Emily Evans who will work with the amazing staff team here throughout the
summer term. I will also pray for the next headteacher to emerge and that they will have the wisdom and strength to
take the school on the next steps of its journey.
Have a wonderful Easter.
Alison Bateman
