Dear Parents and Carers

I hope you are all well and that your child enjoyed our South American fiesta Sports Day.    It is always such a fun morning with P7 ’embracing’ the relay at the end.  The slightly colder weather didn’t deter them in any way.   With only five weeks to the end of this school year it is a very busy time at Trinity as we look at class organisation, meet our new P1s, prepare to say goodbye to our P7s, enjoy various events etc.  Please do keep an eye on the calendar below and watch out for text updates.  We do occasionally get comments saying too much information is shared but this is definitely a case of we can’t please everyone.  Some families will say to the office they don’t know what is going on!

Sponsored Walk : Friday June 6th

Our P7 Health and Wellbeing leadership group are currently planning a whole school 3K sponsored walk in aid of Edinburgh’s Children’s Hospital charity.   A similar event was undertaken a few years ago and was extremely successful.  Several Trinity families have benefited from this charity and any money we raise I am sure will go to good use. The group are planning a route along the local walkway but need help from parents and carers to act as marshals or to walk with some learners.   Further information will be shared but in the meantime it would be helpful to the group to have an idea of numbers able to help so please do let us know either by emailing to admin@trinity-pri.edin.sch.uk or by completing the form (another one!) below.

Sponsored Walk : Friday June 5th 2026 – Fill in form

Connecting Cultures event : Friday May 22^nd 2026

We are looking forward to welcoming parents and carers to our Connecting Cultures Star Time and  Coffee Morning on Friday.   This  event  is being lead by our P7 Equalities and Diversity leadership group.   Parents and Carers are welcome to join Star Time from 9.15am and then go onto the coffee morning or simply come in for the coffee morning at 10.10am.   I do appreciate that many parents and carers have other commitments on a Friday morning and hope that across the year other opportunities are available to join school events.

Priorities for 26 / 27

Thank you to those of you who have taken time to respond to our questionnaire.   The survey closes on Friday May 22^nd so please do click on  the link below if you would like to give us some feedback.  Many thanks.

Dear Parents and Carers

What a fabulous time we had at Trinity last week.

Our P7 show (supported by P6) was another huge success.  Yet again The Pitt proved to be a great venue, the sun shone for us and our P7s were absolutely amazing.  A real credit to themselves, their parents and carers and to our school.  Feedback has been extremely positive – thank you to those who have taken time to email or to pass on comments.

Preloved School Uniform

Preloved school uniform items will be available on the last Friday of every month in the front  playground.  Please do take what you can use – cash donations, if possible, towards school funds are appreciated.

Priorities for 26 / 27

At this time of year we discuss and plan our priorities for next session.   The main priority from our Inspection report is to continue doing what we do.  Whilst this is a very positive place to be in we are never complacent and are always looking at how we can improve.  As a staff we have identified some areas for development but also welcome feedback from parents and carers.  Everyone’s views are important.  I do appreciate that we can all feel a bit ‘surveyed out’ but would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete the survey below.

Dear Parents and Carers

Welcome back to the final term of the school year.  How quickly time flies.   It is lovely to have everyone back in school and ready to learn.  Over the holidays Ken Campbell, our former janitor, has done an amazing job revamping playground equipment and  areas of the secret garden.   Our outdoor learning spaces are a real asset but they do require a lot of effort to maintain.   Thank you to all of those who volunteer with this.  If you are interested in getting involved please contact Katie Lamb (katie.lamb@trinity-pri.edin.sch.uk) or the school office.

Many thanks to our TPSA who have purchased some outdoor seating for the back playground.  We are looking forward to this arriving next week.

Learning Estates review – please see below and attached from City of Edinburgh

To fully deliver the Edinburgh’s ‘Vision for Inclusive Education’, a review of the learning estate is required to ensure it is fit for purpose and meets the needs of our children, young people, staff and wider service users.  In order to take this forward, we are consulting with stakeholders to share and gather information to inform the development of an inclusive learning estates strategy. This strategy will include principles for inclusion to inform mainstream school builds and also consider the special school estate now and into the future.

The attached flyer provides information as to how to respond to this.

Here’s to a very positive, successful and happy term for everyone at Trinity.

Thank you for your support

Jacqueline Scott

Dear Parents and Carers

What a fabulous Red Nose Day we had on Friday.   Our empty playground at 8.45am was filled with stalls and activities, entirely run by Trinity Learners, within 20 minutes.  By 10.30am we had raised £2124.   An incredible amount.  Along with P3 selling 420 red noses the total contribution from Trinity was a whopping £2964 – a record year for us!    Thank you so much to everyone for all their support in making this happen.  

Park Run

Our first school venture into Park Run at Pilrig Park saw 48 Trinity Learners take part.   With a target of 100 runs by the end of June we are well on our way to not only reaching that but to exceeding it.   Hopefully this Sunday March 29^th at 9.30am will see Trinity Learners taking part again. 

August 2026

We are starting the process of planning staffing and class organisation for August 2026.  Please do let us know, as a priority, if your child will not be returning to Trinity Primary after the summer holidays.   This year will see all our classes being rearranged to form new classes.  Experience shows us that providing opportunities for our learners to extend friendships and to learn with and from different groups is beneficial as they move through primary school.  Please be assured that staff take considerable time to get this right for all our learners taking into consideration a range of criteria – established positive friendships, learning styles, additional support needs, gender balance etc.   It’s no easy task but one that is worth spending time on.   

If you wish to discuss this further please do get in touch with myself using the admin email box – admin@trinity-pri.edin.sch.uk. 

We are still awaiting updated numbers for P1 which will inform us of the number of classes to expect.    

Pupil Equity Funding

Pupil Equity Funding is provided to all schools to help support closing the poverty related attainment gap.  Schools are able to use the money to target interventions that may otherwise not be able to happen. At Trinity our PEF is used in the following ways : 

Family Support Worker – Sandra Brown (Citadel) works at Trinity on a Wednesday and meets with parents and carers to support parenting, financial assistance etc 

Pupil Support Officer – Kelly Tawake works full time and supports several of our learners enabling them to attend and achieve in school 

Nurture teacher – Laura Nisbet provides two days of additional support for learning with a particular focus on improving attainment for those affected by poverty.

Opportunity funding – financial support to allow learners to participate in a range of learning opportunities eg skiing, Benmore, Forest schools.

As we consider how to best use funding in the year ahead please take a minute to complete the following

PEF – comments – Fill in form

The form will be live until Friday April 24^th 2026

Packed Lunches

We are currently experiencing significant waste of packed lunches particularly if a class is going out of school.   Last week 17 packed lunches were ordered for P5 learners with 15 not needed as parents / carers had provided their child with their packed lunch.  Please only order a packed lunch if required.  Thank you.

Swimming gala and Euroquiz

Good luck to our P7 group  taking part in the swimming gala and to our P6 group taking part in Euroquiz on Thursday.  A busy day!

P1 and P2 Easter Egg Hunt – Thursday March 26^th at 6.00pm

Dear Parents and Carers

I hope you had an enjoyable weekend.  We had a great turnout at parents’ / carers’ evening and afternoon last week and I hope you found the opportunity to meet with your child’s class teacher  helpful.  Our house captains were very professional in their running  of the book fair – thank you to them and to those of you who purchased a book.

Campfire Story with Hot Chocolate

Our World Book day mug decoration, followed by hot chocolate round the camp fire was a great success.   Despite the weather 20 classes were able to enjoy being outdoors with a time for P1S rescheduled for this week.

If you are able to make a donation of £1.50 to cover the cost of the mug please do so through ParentPay.   Thank you.

P7 World of Work event 

Many thanks to those parents and carers who gave of their time and provided our P7 learners with the opportunity to chat about different jobs and the skills needed.   There was a great atmosphere in the hall with several comments made about how articulate, confident and polite our P7 learners were.    All very necessary skills! 

Red Nose Day : Friday 20^th March

In true Trinity fashion Red Nose Day will be ‘handed over’ to learners to organise and run.   P3 have already sold out the first batch of red noses with more available this week.  We have asked that learners keep their nose in the box and take it home to avoid loss, damage and upset.

On the day learners are welcome to dress up, dress funny or dress down!

Here is some information to help those planning on running their own event:

• You need to bring all your own resources (you can get a table from school)
• Have a sign showing cost / what to do
• Charge 20p, 50p or £1
• Bring a float (this is some money to start you off with which has to be paid back.)
• Bring prizes if you need them
• If you need help with any of the above, including the float, you must speak with your teacher or Mrs Scott by the end of Tuesday  March 17th.   Don’t leave it to the last minute!

Park Run

Mrs Berthinussen has signed Trinity up for Park Run.  The first one will take place at 9.30am in Pilrig Park.   We have set a target of 100  park runners by the end of June so we’re hoping lots of Trinity learners will turn up and get us off to a good start

Staffing

A warm welcome to Becci Milan who has joined our PSA team and who is currently supporting in P7.

Happy Eid

At Trinity Together on Friday we shared learning about Ramadan and Eid.  Very well done to Rakan, Adam and Amira who took the microphone and spoke about what Eid means to their families.   A very Happy Eid to all our Trinity families who will be celebrating this week.

Thank you for your continued support

Perseverance          Respect          Creativity          Kindness

I aim to respond to your email ASAP,  but certainly within 5 working days (complaints) and 10 working days (enquiries) in line with CEC policy.

Dear Parents and Carers

A very Happy New Year to you all and a very warm welcome to Trinity Primary for those who have just joined our school.   We all hope you soon feel a part of the Trinity community.  

INSET

At our INSET on Monday staff began discussions around the topic of progressive masculinity and the impact that elements of social media and expectations can have on how boys, in particular,  view themselves and how they should behave.  It is a very interesting topic and an area that is being developed across our Learning Community with support from progressivemasculinity.co.uk.   One interesting fact was that, as parents and carers, research shows that we stop physical contact with boys earlier than we do with girls – not holding their hands, giving them a cuddle, allowing them to cry and comforting them.   This can manifest itself in boys seeking physical contact in other ways – jostling with each other, play fighting, pushing etc.  It certainly gave us food for thought.

Our INSET day was also spent hearing from our Educational Psychologist about restorative practice in managing some of the behaviours of our learners.  This approach is in line with CEC policy and centres around giving everyone a voice and reaching a resolution for all involved.

Staffing update

We said goodbye to Paige Salter, our Early Years Practitioner, who was ‘on loan’ to us from Granton Primary.  Interviews for a substantive EYP will take place tomorrow.   We are also looking to recruit a Pupil Support Assistant with the advert going live in the next few days. 

Attendance and time keeeping at school

Whilst being on time and in school everyday is a council wide priority we are aware that there are a growing number of learners exhibiting anxiety or who have additional support needs that can result in finding the transition from home to school challenging.    Our aim is to take a very supportive and individualised approach to this whilst also adhering to council expectations and ensuring that all our learners are registered correctly when in school.    We do operate a ‘late book’ and children not in class for registration at 8.45am or 9.00am are asked to write in this so that our office staff avoid contacting  parents and carers to say their child is absent.  As I’m sure you will understand this can cause distress for both parties if the child is in fact in the building.    The ‘late book’ is not in any way a punitive approach but simply a way of keeping learners safe.  If you have any concerns around this please do contact either myself, Ms Berthinussen or Ms McIntosh.  In the meantime we have decided to pilot only sending texts for absence and not for lateness.   Direct contact will be made with parents and carers for persistent latecomers with no apparent reason.   Thank you for your support with this.

Dates ahead

Please see below for dates for this term and for summer.  These maybe subject to change so please do look out for further infromation.  I hope the format is helpful.
