On Friday, Dame Meg Hillier visited Holy Trinity and talked to the children about the importance of their voices in shaping the world around them. She also shared her thoughts about the importance of reducing plastic pollution, in response to a campaign by Sofia in Year 4. Look at the beautiful bag which Sofia made for her! Dame Meg also talked to the children about her passion for Hackney – the many things that are great about our borough and the things she / they would like to improve. She also awarded the prizes in Celebration Assembly and came on a tour of the school. It was such a pleasure to welcome Dame Meg to Holy Trinity and we hope she can visit again soon!
Each school within our federation has a Local Advisory Board which meets termly to support the Headteacher and Executive Principal to make strategic decisions to improve outcomes for our pupils. The Local Advisory Board supports and challenges the school to continue to provide a high quality education for all pupils. They do this by looking at outcomes for pupils compared to children nationally, analysing finance, health and safety, curriculum and other reports and helping the school to make decisions which will benefit the school community. Our Local Advisory Board is made up of staff, parent, clergy and community members.
Do you have an interest in joining our Local Advisory Board as a parent representative? If so, please email admin@holytrinity.hackney.sch.uk to express your interest.
