Trinity Church School in detail

Trinity Church School in its own words

In its own words: "We teach children that Britain has its own Core Values, that bind us all together as a country, and that make all who live here special. We teach through our curriculum and beyond to ensure our children understand British Values and how they link to Trinity's Core Christian Values, and relate to us all."

From the headteacher's welcome: "Trinity Church School is a smaller than average primary school in the town of Radstock, just south of Bath. We are a very welcoming, high achieving and creative school that seeks to provide an inspirational education for children within the local community and beyond."
