I look forward to building on the strong foundations that Mrs Rogers laid for us and taking the school from strength to strength. Trinity has a deep rooted community ethos and its strong family values permeate through all aspects of school life. I want to provide our children with the best quality learning experiences and equip them with the skills they need for life long learning so they become confident individuals and responsible citizens”.
