I feel extremely honoured and privileged to be the Headteacher of Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School. Nestled in the heart of our community, we are the hidden gem of Forest Hill.

Established in 1874, Holy Trinity is a successful, popular, diverse and inclusive Church of England primary school with a long-standing tradition of nurturing excellence. We provide a safe, supportive and happy environment where children can thrive academically, socially and emotionally. Our inclusive and ambitious curriculum is at the heart of all we do, ensuring every child feels valued, confident and inspired to achieve their best.

Our pupils are intellectually curious, open minded and grounded. They are encouraged to explore who they are, while growing in kindness, resilience and respect for others. We take great pride in developing well-rounded, compassionate and reflective individuals.

Our vision, “Excellence within a Christian Family,” guides us in living out our values of honesty, ambition, forgiveness, kindness, respect and resilience. We want every child and adult in our community to experience a deep sense of self-worth, friendship and love through their words, actions and experiences.

Our curriculum goes beyond the National Curriculum, sparking a passion for learning across all subjects. We celebrate creativity, problem solving and collaboration, helping children know more, remember more and grow in confidence. We believe every child can achieve highly, whatever their starting point.

We offer a wide range of extracurricular opportunities including clubs, trips, sports, languages and music that broaden our pupils’ experiences and help them develop confidence, friendships and resilience. We also nurture leadership through roles such as RE Leaders, the Safeguarding Committee, Buddies, Leading Citizens and Eco Ambassadors, helping our pupils grow into active, responsible members of their local and global communities.

Our strong partnerships with schools such as Sydenham High and Dulwich College, national organisations like St. Christopher’s Hospice and Best Practice Network, and local universities support staff development and teacher training while exposing children to innovative and inspiring practices.

At Holy Trinity, we are proud to develop articulate, thoughtful and kind individuals who are well prepared to make a positive impact in their communities and beyond.
