About Holy Trinity School

What is a Free School ?A free school is a non-selective school that is funded by the

taxpayer but is independent of state control. However, it is

subject to inspection by Ofsted and is accountable to the

Secretary of State for Education. The Coalition Government

has been encouraging groups of parents and teachers to set

up taxpayer funded schools since it came to power in 2010.

In addition it allows Independent schools to convert to a free

school staus.

As a Free School, Holy Trinity has the following features:• An all-age school, from age 4 to age 18, on the same site.

Children who enter at age 4 will be able to continue, if

they and their parents wish, until their school education

ends at age 18.

• Separate primary, secondary and sixth form sections.

• A small school, with a family atmosphere, starting with up

to around 470 pupils in September 2014 and rising to a

maximum of around 690, when full, in September 2019.

• Building on the school’s current success in national

tests and public examinations, a strong emphasis on

high expectations for all pupils and on academic rigour.

All pupils will study at least one foreign language from

age 4 onwards, have classes in philosophy, and follow a

course leading to the academically demanding English

Baccalaureate at age 16.

• A strong emphasis on pastoral care and on every pupil

being known and individually looked after and cared for.

• An internationally-minded school, with strong links with

other parts of the world.
