Our School Vision
‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’
Matthew 22:36-40 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself.”
At Holy Trinity, positive, caring relationships are the foundation of our school community, woven through everything we do. In our school, everyone is valued and learns to value one another. Children, staff, and families are recognised and celebrated as unique individuals — each one loved, supported, and respected for who they are. Jesus’ teaching supports us to see the value in others, to be compassionate and to create an environment where everyone can flourish and achieve their full potential.
We recognise that our school community is part of a larger, diverse world, and we are committed to fostering an environment that is welcoming, inclusive, and accepting of all. At Holy Trinity, we nurture curious and motivated learners who take joy in discovery as they explore the world around them. We encourage our pupils develop into responsible global neighbours who respect, appreciate, and embrace the differences that make each of us unique.
We support our Holy Trinity family to flourish by nurturing their spiritual journey through:
- Looking in with self-reflection, to love and value themselves as a unique child of God with self-respect and honesty.
- Looking out with compassion and service to seek justice, peace, and care for all people and the planet we share.
- Looking up with wonder and gratitude. We consider being a part of something greater than ourselves by taking time to pray, reflect, and be still.
Our school values:
Respect – The Parable of the Good Samaritan
Luke 10:25-37 teaches that compassion, and neighbourly love should be extended to everyone, irrespective of background or perceived differences.
Community – The Parable of the Lost Sheep
Matthew 18: 10–14 teaches us the importance of community and belonging. God, like the shepherd, desires for all to be part of the flock, experiencing the joy of being connected and cared for.
Responsibility – The Parable of Jesus feeding the 5000
John 6.1-13 teaches us that Jesus notices and cares about the everyday needs of all people.
By fostering an inclusive community and working in partnership with Durham and Newcastle Diocesan Learning Trust and the Church of England, we are empowering our children to live full lives, reaching their potential and helping others to do the same. Through our spiritual development and our commitment to these Christian values, we encourage children to not only see the world through a broader lens but also actively contribute to making it a more inclusive and compassionate place. Our school is a place where respect, community, and responsibility guide our actions and help us live out the teaching to love our neighbour as ourselves.
Durham and Newcastle Diocesan Learning Trust’s vision: “Every child matters and no child is ever left behind…”
The Church of England vision: “Live life to its fullness.”
