Holy Trinity Lamorbey Church of England School in its own words

In its own words: "At Holy Trinity Lamorbey our vision is that education has the power to transform lives and build extraordinary futures for all of our pupils. As a Church of England Primary School, we take as our inspiration Christ's transformative love and its ability to build a meaningful and purposeful future for us with God."

From the headteacher's welcome: "In 1838 a day school was conducted in a cottage in Halfway Street. 1841 saw the building of a new school in Burnt Oak Lane. As the need for education grew, so a National School was built. This building is still in existence in Hurst Road but is now the parish church hall."

Clubs and activities named on the school's website include football, gymnastics, dance, ballet, chess, Lego and book club.

The school runs a breakfast club from 7:30am and after-school care, from £9.50 per session.
