We have just started our Autumn 2018 term but the ‘Good News Keeps on Coming!! We have recently won the Sainsbury’s School Games Gold Award. This for our commitment to the development of competition across our school and into the community. Well done us and thank you to Mr Skinner who put together and submitted the application (just before the summer) on behalf of THT!!

In March 2018 we received our Ofsted report which reflects on our visit by Elizabeth Stevens HMI in February 2018. It states that we continue to be a Good school and that, ‘The school is at the heart of the community and pupils enjoy taking part in many activities and celebrations in the village and local area.’ Click here to read the full report.

Also in 2018, we were named  as being in the top 1% of primary schools in England for achievement in reading for the second year running, and we have been notified that we are going to receive an Outstanding Achievement Award for the £400 that we raised for the British Legion poppy Appeal…an outstanding achievement…well done everyone!! Mrs Seema Kennedy popped in to meet us in January and later tweeted, ‘Inspiring group of teachers and pupils at #Tarleton  Holy Trinity School. #SouthRibbleschool’.

At Tarleton Holy Trinity we are very proud of all our children and all that they achieve. We have an excellent reputation locally and have a full intake for our September’s Reception Class. This is because staff, children, parents and governors all work extremely hard to ensure the best learning experiences for the whole school community. We have very high academic standards, but like learning to be fun – making sure that is more to life than ‘reading, writing and arithmetic’. We love art, music, dance, sports and PE and use enrichment days to help the children to experience these at their full. Being a church school is important to us, as everything we do is based on our Christian Values. At THT we really do value, dream and achieve!

The partnership between school and home is essential – you will always find our staff willing to assist and listen. If you have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of staff. To keep up-to-date with what’s happening at THT, keep reading our weekly Newsletters, log onto my Headteacher’s Blog, download our School App, or visit us on Facebook…there are so many ways in which you can keep in touch!!  Thanks for reading!!

Our School Aims

We aim to lay a foundation for life by:

-Educating the children in a sincere, caring and Christian way

-Developing a moral, spiritual awareness

-Providing teaching based on Christian beliefs, attitudes and traditions, especially those of the Anglican Church

-Delivering a broad and balanced curriculum in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, National Curriculum and Blackburn Diocese RE syllabus, with high expectations for all our pupils

What Makes Tarleton Holy Trinity Special?

Our school motto is “Value, Dream and Achieve”

It is important to all of us involved with the children at our school that they should receive the very best education: that they are given the skills to help them be successful in life, that they understand their part in the world and that they have a desire for life-long learning.

We embrace and uphold the Every Child Matters agenda and it permeates throughout all areas of school life.

We acknowledge that technology has a major role in their education and is constantly changing. We strive to keep up to date with the latest innovations and teaching methods.

Governors and the Church

Our School is a Church of England Aided School, and, as such, maintains mutually supportive links with Holy Trinity Church. The Governing Body comprises representatives from Blackburn Diocese, Holy Trinity Church, the LA, the local Parish Council, parents, teachers and non teaching staff. The Church has the majority since it is responsible for the ethos of the school. The Governors work hard for the school and have wide ranging responsibilities, including appointment of staff, the curriculum, admissions to school, financial management amongst others. The Governors are also responsible for maintaining and extending the fabric of the building and must bear 10% of the costs for such works. This funding is supported by the fundraising of the FRIENDS of the school.
