Student wellbeing
Student wellbeing is of paramount importance at Trinity. The first duty of staff is to act in the best interests of the child, and every student is known and respected as an individual.
A top priority
Tutors and Heads of Year take a leading role in supporting students and liaising with parents on pastoral matters. The pastoral team are all trained in mental health first aid, and work alongside the nurses, counsellor and clinical psychologist.
Through tutor and assembly time activities, as well as interactions with members of staff, students are encouraged to think about qualities such as kindness, empathy, courtesy and personal responsibility.
Building the whole person
These character traits are further considered and cultivated through our Personal Development curriculum. Topics span a range of areas including health and wellbeing; identity and values; positive relationships and bullying; and safety, including online safety.
Activities designed to build resilience and teamwork are also included within this programme, with a particular focus in the second year (Year 8), through a bespoke resilience course and our Boetius outdoor activities trip.
In the Sixth Form, specialist visiting speakers also form part of the Diploma programme while students take on volunteering, mentoring and leadership roles, enabling them to give back to their community.
