Supporting Trinity Primary School – Together, We Make a Difference

Like many UK primary schools, Trinity is facing increasing financial challenges. Our goal remains the same, to provide an outstanding education for every pupil, ensuring they have access to the best learning resources and opportunities. To help us continue this, we are asking parents and carers to consider making a regular monthly donation to the Trinity Primary School Education Fund.

Who manages the fund and decides how the money is spent?

This fund will be managed by the School Governors (voted for), the FOTS Treasurer and the Headteacher.  It will be used for essential resources and equipment when a specific need is identified and when sufficient funds are available. The Senior Leadership Team will propose spending requests, which will then be reviewed and approved.  Previously, the School Fund has helped us provide over £10,000 worth of Chromebooks, ensuring that all pupils have access to technology at school.

How much should I contribute?

We fully appreciate the financial pressures that many families are facing. There is no set amount, and any contribution, big or small, will make a real difference. If you were to sacrifice two coffees a month, that £10 would go a long way.

Why is this fund needed?

Despite our school being full (we receive funding per pupil), like most state-funded primary schools, Trinity has had to find ways to supplement its government funding. Despite our best efforts to manage budget cuts, additional support is now essential to maintain the high standard of education we are committed to delivering.

What is the difference from FOTS?

FOTS (Friends of Trinity School) does an incredible job fundraising through events like cake sales, the Summer Ball and the Halloween disco. However, these activities are run by volunteers, and the funds raised fluctuate each year. Typically, FOTS contributions are allocated to special projects, whereas the School Fund focuses on covering the essential, day-to-day needs of the school.

How will I know where my donation goes?

We believe in transparency. Every time the School Fund is used, contributors will be informed about how much was spent and what it was used for.

If you have any questions, please contact the school office. If you feel able to support us with a monthly donation, please click on the Donate link at the top of this page.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. It truly makes a difference.
