The school year of 2004-05 was certainly a momentous one for Holy Trinity School. After several trying years the school's major redevelopment was completed in November 2004. This new development meant much needed modern facilities were finally added to the main school.

The creation of a large hall, funded by the Governments 'Space for Sports & Arts' initiative, was the driving force behind the whole redevelopment. The school quickly made good use of this facility by coming together with Springwood Heath C.P. School to deliver an arts project that was greatly appreciated by parents and staff of both schools.

The new development meant that a whole new office and reception area was built - finally bringing Holy Trinity into the 21st century. A keynote feature of this new area is the added security for staff and children alike.

The old school building was also modernised by the creation of a foundation unit for children from 3 - 5 years old. A modern computer suite was built and how encouraging to see all the children make excellent use of this facility. Parent ICT courses have also taken place in the suite, and a new library completed the school's multimedia area.

So as we end 2005, the school could not be better set out to continue to offer our children the very best of facilities to match the excellent teaching they receive - a fact brought home this year by the school's excellent Key Stage II SAT results, which were the best ever achieved by children of Holy Trinity. Indeed, the results put the school into the country's top 5% in terms of "Value Added".
