Welcome to Trinity CEVAP School. Choosing a school is a huge milestone in the lives of any parent and child, and we hope that having looked around our website, you will be encouraged to take the next step and come to see us in person.
As a Church School, our strong Christian values underpin the excellent provision which we provide; as an inclusive school, we are open to our entire community, believing that from a Christian viewpoint, we can teach all of our children to respect, accept and understand the beliefs and traditions of others, therefore successfully equipping all of our pupils to live in a multicultural society.
We are incredibly lucky to have such amazing and spacious school grounds, which enable us to fully embrace the outdoors within our extensive, broad and balanced curriculum, affording children the opportunity to learn beyond the confines of a classroom and to enjoy and respect our world.
Many of our classrooms have direct access to outdoor learning spaces which are fully used to ensure that learning here is active, enjoyable and fun.
