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.

Dear parents and carers,

The UK Government are currently consulting on the additional steps which they can take to create a smokefree generation by tackling youth vaping Creating a smokefree generation and tackling youth vaping: your views – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

This consultation seeks feedback on the proposed measures, to inform future legislation. On youth vaping, there are a number of options proposed, to ensure the UK Government and devolved administrations take the most appropriate and impactful steps, building on existing evidence.

The consultation closes on 6 December 2023 and you can respond via the online survey.

Kind regards,

On behalf of

Dear Parents and Carers

There is no disputing the fact that some families, for various reasons, are facing financial hardship at the moment.  As you know Christmas@Trinity in school activities will be free of charge for all Trinity learners.  We are also aware however that some Trinity families may find it helpful to receive a Christmas food parcel containing basic food items plus some Christmas extras.  Our family support worker, Sandra Brown, has suggested some names for us already but we believe there may be more families who could do with a bit of a help at this time of year.   

Acts of Kindness are being shared by our Trinity Learners at the moment and helping those who belong to our Trinity community is an act of kindness we can extend. 

If you would find a Christmas food parcel helpful please do let us know either by phoning Sandra Brown on 07746 895595 or emailing Sandra or school direct on the email addresses below :

sandra@citadelyouthcentre.org.uk

Kelly.tawake@trinity-pri.edin.sch.uk

(Kelly Tawake is our Pupil Support Officer)

I cannot stress enough that any requests will be treated with dignity and in confidence so please do get in touch if, together,  we can help.  

Best wishes

Last plea to parents and carers about bringing in a costume to donate to this year’s Halloween Costume Swap. Tomorrow morning is the last chance to bring something in so your child can then choose something new from the swap tomorrow (Tuesday 10th October).

Many thanks to all the parents and carers who have already brought something in!

Dear Parents and Carers

There is no doubt that families are finding things tough at the moment as the cost of living increases.   With school meals now free for all P1 – P5 children we have seen a decrease in the number of families applying for ‘free school meal’ entitlement.    Please find attached a poster outlining what other supports you are eligible for  when entitled to free meals.  Sandra Brown, our family worker, is avavilable on a Wednesday to help with apllications.  As well as wanting to ensure that families receive what they are entitled to, the school also benefits financially when families are in receipt of free school meal entitlement.

Please do get in touch if you like further information.

Best wishes

Dear Parents and Carers

As my previous email stated we will be using Teams as a means of communicating learning both in school and if we have any classes requiring to isolate.   Please find attached a guide to using Office 365 and Teams.  If you experience any difficulties do not hesitate to get in touch with school by emailing admin@trinity-pri.edin.sch.uk
