Dear Parents and Carers.
I’m not sure if you are like me and cannot quite believe that we are at the end of November already and Christmas is most definitely coming!
Please see below for an update on dates and events for Christmas at TPS. It promises to be a busy and fun filled time. I do apologise for some changes having to be made to the dates / times shared already and hope that these do not cause you any inconvenience.
A paper copy of what’s on will be in school bags today – experience has shown that putting this on the fridge or similar can be a help in the weeks ahead.
Thank you for your support and I hope that all our Trinity Learners enjoy Christmas at TPS!
Best wishes
Jacqueline Scott
Christmas costs : a huge thanks to the TPSA and all our school community who support them. This support has allowed the TPSA to fund all our in schooltime Christmas activities and events. This means there will be no cost to parents and carers for the silent disco, Star Time, parties, activity day, fun run etc.
Christmas jumpers etc are welcome from Wednesday until the holidays. We will be operating a Christmas clothing swap or donation table. If you have any preloved Christmas clothing that your child has grown out of please do send into school at any point over the next few weeks – thank you.
Two years ago saw us being Christmas Crackered, last year Snowball Splattered and this year each class will be Star Struck. At some point in December each class will secretly stick a star on another classroom door, share a joke and leave a gift. Remember to ask your child if they’ve been Star Struck yet!

Our calendar will operate until Fri Dec 16th
