Vision, values, character and rewards
Vision
Imagine a vibrant community where your child’s potential is celebrated, curiosity is encouraged, and every step forward is met with support.
At Trinity Coast Primary School, we aim to make learning an exciting adventure, giving your child the confidence and skills to navigate the world.
We’re not just teaching subjects; we’re nurturing young minds, encouraging creativity, and instilling values beyond the classroom.
Through engaging lessons, supportive relationships, and collaboration, we empower children to tackle challenges, discover their passions, and become their best versions.
Our mission is straightforward:
To create a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.
Values and character
At Trinity Primary School, we understand that your child’s education goes beyond academics; it’s about nurturing them as a whole. That’s why we focus on instilling values and character traits in all our pupils.
Why they matter:
Values and character traits are the moral compass that will guide your child through life's challenges and opportunities.
They shape who they are, how they connect with others, and how they contribute to society. Nurturing these qualities allows our pupils to make ethical decisions, build positive relationships, embrace diversity, overcome obstacles, and lead with purpose.
Respect
I treat others with kindness, empathy, and consideration, regardless of differences in background, beliefs, or abilities.
Rewards and Recognition
Our rewards program is designed to acknowledge and praise children who show excellence in various aspects of school life. This includes academic achievements, extracurricular accomplishments and demonstration of the superhero traits listed above.
Other specific awards are shown below. Tap on each for more detail.
We recognise and celebrate progress and success in various ways, including certificates of achievement, acknowledgement during school assemblies, privileges within the school, and participation in special events and activities.
