Dear Parents and Carers
I hope you are all well. It actually feels like we are quite literally ‘marching’ through March. Next week sees the end of term three and we are already looking at staffing and class organisation for August. Building works are progressing and we are hopeful that we will have our learning spaces back in full use for the start of the new school year. Works on the kitchen are scheduled to be completed by December meaning, fingers crossed, 2025 will see Trinity Primary ‘fully functioning’ again. In the meantime we continue to make the best of the situation. A huge thanks to all of the staff and to yourselves for your understanding.
RED NOSE DAY triumph!
Our Trinity Learners raised the amazing total of £1758 on Friday as well as a further £500 through the sale of red noses (thanks to P3 for leading on this) Watching our learners lead the event was fabulous with our four values shining through. Many thanks for your support.
P2 show
P2 entertained packed halls with their fabulous show. Their singing, dancing and narration was excellent and an absolute joy to watch.
Next it’s over to P4 who take to the stage on Thursday and Friday. No pressure P4!
Grow A Story
All Trinity learners are currently involved with our Grow A Story project. Stories from each class will be selected to go forward to our panel of judges who will have the daunting task of choosing a winner from each stage. It would be great to have a parent/carer representative on the panel. If you would be interested please drop me an email – jacqueline.scott@trinity-pri.edin.sch.uk
Raising Children with Confidence
This course will run next term lead by Kelly Tawake, PSO, and Sandra Brown, family support worker. The course is designed to support parents and carers to confidently raise their children and offers opportunity for discussion and sharing of ideas. Whilst over 40 expressed initial interest, less than 10 parents and carers attended the coffee morning to hear more about what is involved. If you are still interested please contact Kelly on the email below as spaces are still available.

Free Meal Entitlement
The introduction of free school meals for all children from P1 – P5 has seen a decrease in the number of families taking up their free meal entitlement. As this has a direct impact on elements of funding received by schools please do check if you are eligible and make an application. The entitlement is for more than free meals. Sandra Brown is able to assist if this would be helpful.
HWB survey
Our P3 – P7 learners are currently taking part in a survey lead by CEC to look at elements of Health & Wellbeing. The results will be shared next term.
TPSA P1 and P2 Easter Egg Hunt
This will take place tomorrow, Thursday March 21st at 6.00pm, in the back playground of school. Entrance can be made either through the school front door or through the gate from Victoria Park. Please do purchase a ticket on ParentPay if your child would like to take part.
Can you help?
We are putting the final touches to our updated curriculum ‘map’ (shared at house coffee mornings) and are looking for help with the graphic design aspect. If you have the necessary skills and are willing to support us with this please do get in touch : jacqueline.scott@trinity-pri.edin.sch.uk
