The movie has been voted for by the children and will be The Minecraft Movie. Tickets are available on ParentPay.
Please note that this film is rated PG. It contains some material which may not be suitable for young children and parental discretion is advised. The rating is due to the film containing some fantasy violence, scary images, and mild language, though the violence is comic in nature and does not show gore.

We enjoyed a fantastic Black History Month celebration this week, with brilliant work from the children, opportunities to drum with a professional drummer, delicious food and drink, arts and crafts activities and so many things to do! Thank you to our wonderful PTA for all the organising that went into this event. Please see lots of pictures of the fantastic event in the posts in this newsletter!

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.
If you would like to be added to the PTA volunteering team you can pick up forms from the school office. Even if you can give limited support it still helps to get involved!
