• Important Safeguarding Notice: Children’s “Spy” Books

  Thu 09 Oct 2025

  Important Safeguarding Notice: Children’s “Spy” Books

   

  Children's publisher Puffin has issued an alert about books by Andy Cope including those in the Spy Dogs, Spy Cats, and Spy Pups series.

   

  The books include a link to additional content, but the link is no longer owned by Mr Cope. The new owner publishes pornographic content. This means that children visiting the link are seeing highly inappropriate webpages.

   

  As a result, libraries, bookshops, retailers and schools have removed the books from their shelves until such time as there is a resolution.

   

  If you have a copy of the book at home, please remove it from your child's access.

  

• ¡Buen viaje! Mrs Alberti

  Wed 08 Oct 2025

  For many years, the wonderful Rachel Alberti has been teaching Spanish during teachers' Planning Preparation and Assessment Time (otherwise known as PPA). She is an incredible Spanish speaker, 
  having lived in Spanish speaking countries for a number of years. With her fluency also comes a deep knowledge of history and culture which has greatly benefited and enlightened our pupils.

  
  She is now taking the opportunity to leave us for a short time to go and spend an extended period in Mexico where she will see family that she has not had the chance to see for many years.

  
  The good news is, that she is only leaving us temporarily. Her last day will be Thursday 16th October and she will be returning to our school on Tuesday 27th January 2026.
  
  Mrs Alberti is particularly enthusiastic about the effect that this temporary leave will have on her professional work in school. She is going to come back with wonderful resources to use with the children and with a renewed energy and passion for teaching a subject that she truly loves.

  
  The Governors and staff of the school wish her the very best, and we look forward to seeing her when she returns to our school in January.

   

  ¡Buen viaje!

  Headteacher

• Football Updates

  Mon 06 Oct 2025

  On a glorious, sunny Monday evening, Holy Trinity hosted Alveston Primary School in two football fixtures.

   

  The first match saw our girls' teams go to head with head. This was our first match without last year's very talented Year 6 players, but thankfully we have recruited two new excellent additions to the squad in Lottie and Pearl who both made very assured debuts. Our girls battled valiantly against a very physical opposition, and we came up against some very good goalkeeping. The game was decided on two excellent strikes from our opponents which gave Ellie in goal no chance of saving. On another day, our performance may well have been good enough for a positive result but that's sport! So sadly, a 2-0 loss to start the season but we go again next week!

   

  As for our boys, it was a much different story. Playing together as a 9 a side team for the first time, you'd have been forgiven for thinking this is a side who've played together for years. The intricate passing and free flowing football quickly saw the boys take a 3-0 lead. To their credit, our opponents didn’t let their heads drop and managed to get a goal back. However, our boys continued to go from strength to strength in the second half, with standout performances from nearly every player on the pitch making it impossible to give them all a mention! A special mention must also go to Ellis' Dad, Paul and Seb's Mum, Dani, who kindly looked after the side for me (Mr Shuker) whilst I was refereeing the girl's match. A brilliant 8-1 victory to start what will hopefully be an exciting season.
