At Trinity, the children always come first and we strive to provide the best in terms of education as well as being a supportive community. Everything we do at Trinity is underpinned by our aims and values. We believe that children who attend Trinity First School will have the opportunity to grow as individuals in a happy and secure environment.
We have a commitment and responsibility to the Verwood community and to the churches who support us. Our aims were formally written and agreed by the Staff and Governors. As a whole school team, we are committed to a high quality education and excellent standards of achievement. We will always offer a broad curriculum which motivates the whole child.
As a Church of England School, we will promote the Christian faith and its values and standards, letting every child rest in the knowledge of God's love and His acceptance. We value parents as the first and most enduring educators and we are committed to excellent liaison and communication with you.
