"Labels are for jars, not for children"
Have a very Happy Easter!
Many thanks to all the parents who helped us to walk back to school after our Easter service at St Hildebugh's. It was a lovely service that reminded us of the true meaning of Easter. We hope that you have a restful holiday, you get lots of eggs and you remember how much God loves us; so much, that he sent his son Jesus to die for us on the cross - the true meaning of Easter.
School reopens on Monday 16th April.
Announcement

Update from Acting Headteacher: Mrs O'Neill Edwards
Apologies for not updating the website sooner but the past 2 months have been extremely busy!
May I say a big thank you to everyone who has expressed best wishes and prayers for Dr Ham - we all wish him well and look forward to his return in the future.
I would like to thank Mrs Prothero for fulfilling the role of Acting Deputy Headteacher and all the staff, parents and children for their messages of support and patience in this time of change.
Over the next few weeks our website will be having a make over and hopefully will make accessing information easier. Please bear with us whilst these changes are taking place and information is being updated.
A newsletter will be coming home shortly updating parents on all the developments that have taken place so far this term and informing you of further developments for the remainder of this term. This will also be available to view online.
It is lovely to see our bike shed so full of scooters, bicycles and skateboards - there are a lot of children travelling to school on wheels; this is especially good at the moment as we are currently taking part in 'THE BIG PEDAL2012'. Can you please ensure that your child dismounts their scooter/bike/skateboard at the gate and pushes or carries their 'vehicle' to the bike shed. There have been a small number of incidents of children riding round the playgrounds and bumping in to people. We want to keep everyone safe and would appreciate your support in this matter.
Great news!
Our before and after school provision FUTURE STARS have had an ofsted inspection and have been graded as OUTSTANDING!
We are thrilled with this result and are so pleased that this grading reflects the hard work and dedication of Anna, Alichia, Lizzie and Jean. If you are interested in using our quality provision, please see one of the future stars team or ask at the school office.
Many thanks
Mrs O'Neill Edwards - Acting Headteacher
"Hoylake Holy Trinity C E is a school with many admirable qualities: Dynamism, creativity and a strong sense of partnership. It is actively involved in the broader community in ensuring that families and parents are successfully encouraged to develop their true potential in the basic skills of Literacy and Numeracy.
There is no doubt in our minds that the well-established Inclusion Team..... has a significant impact upon whole school development and reinforces its community focused ethos."

At Hoylake we have a House system, chosen by the children based on birds which can be found along the shore in Hoylake: Oystercatchers, Redshanks, Curlews and Sandpipers.
Esafety policy - please click here to view the school's new esafety policy. Copies of the parents form will be sent out shortly, for you to sign. Please read the policy, which has been ratified by the Governing Body. Paper copies can be provided and are available to view in the School office. Internet security and safety are very important. If you would like more information about how to protect your children while they are on the internet, please contact Dr. Ham. WARNING: We strongly recommend that you monitor your child's internet access, either by sitting with them and/or ensuring that there are security restrictions preventing your son or daughter accessing particular web sites such as Facebook and other internet social networking sites. There are several reports of possible illegal use of these sites by adults trying to contact children in our area, and any such report or suspicion needs to be notified to the police immediately.

Some of the children take a bow during one of our recent Friday Celebration assemblies. Carers, Mums and Dads and friends come too, as do some of our preschool youngsters!
Attendance - The legal limit to authorised absence is 10 days in one academic year. However this is at the Headteacher's discretion. Please help your child and us by respecting this. For any absences to take place after August 2010, we will be asking you to make an appointment with the Headteacher to discuss the matter, rather than filling in a request form. This is not to cause offence, but we see a dramatic correlation between children's progress and their attendance. We will be looking at ongoing attendance when reviewing these requests. Recent end of year attendance records sent to parents were colour coded to emphasise the importance of this issue.

Welcome from the Headteacher
-
If you are thinking of moving to Wirral, Hoylake would be a superb choice. As the pictures below show, some of the local views are stunning and we believe Hoylake Holy Trinity C of E Primary School is a wonderful place for children's learning to take place. The school is right at the heart of Hoylake, just off Market Street, the main road through the village. As well as being physically very central, we also believe we are central to Hoylake as a community, and seek to build upon and develop our community links. Hoylake also has excellent transport links with Liverpool, Birkenhead and Chester. Please explore our web site for more information. Moreover go to www.hoylakevillage.org.uk for a new website all about Hoylake itself.
If you are already closely linked with Holy Trinity, welcome to our school website.
I hope you will find our pages helpful in getting to know what's happening within our school community, whether you are already involved or simply a visitor.
Our mission statement at the head of the page is one that all of us at Holy Trinity, children and adults alike, take very seriously. Our aim is to enable the children coming here to grow up in a caring and exciting environment where barriers to participation and to achievement, wherever they come from, are reduced and where the pupils are given the maximum opportunity to enjoy their full potential. Important to us all is the inclusive , christian ethos, around which we seek to grow together.
We have a number of weekly opportunities when parents and relatives can join in. Monday morning sees our first act of collective worship. These are often led by the children and parents of those leading are warmly invited. Friday morning brings our celebration of great things during the previous week, when we recognise effort and achievement, whether academic or non academic. Parents of children receiving awards are invited to share in these celebrations. If this is you, then you will be notified with a letter by Tuesday evening in the hope that you can make time to be there.

Westerly facing, we have some superb sunsets looking over the Dee, to the Welsh coast, and beyond.

But most important - enjoying excellent learning opportunities
Admission numbers into F2 for 2011 are 37. This reflects an increase in local demand from Hoylake residents. The Governing Body of the school will be reviewing space and demand for places. At present we expect to maintain our intake in 2012 at 37. A crucial part of our Christian ethos and culture is the fact that we seek to be accessible, inclusive, welcoming and friendly. This, we intend, will not change.
Although we are a Church school, we are also an inclusive community school and do not have any admissions criteria based on church attendance etc. Please be advised that the LA processes all applications for places, not the school, and the LA should be contacted for the precise admissions criteria. However, the School is always open for visitors who might like to see around and get advice and information. We advise that you visit during the school day so that you can meet us as a community, in action!
If you have any questions, suggestions or wish to find out more about our school community, please do not hesitate to contact me. You will find newsletters, pictures, reports and links to other sites, as well as examples of children's achievements - all within this website. As time goes on we will endeavour to use it to further improve communications between home and school.
If you want to see more you are welcome to come and visit. Again, please contact me using the details below and we will enjoy showing you around our school.
With best wishes,
Dr. P.J. Ham
Headteacher
