$\text{Our Wonderful Relationship with Holy Trinity Church}$ 

We’re so proud of our special connection with Holy Trinity Church in Apperley $\text{village}$! It’s a fantastic resource right in our community that helps bring our learning to life.

$\text{Church Visits and Learning}$ 

The church is an important place for our children’s Religious Education (RE) and Worldviews learning. The children often visit to explore the building and its history, helping them understand what they learn in the classroom in a real-world setting.

$\text{Our History: Built for Convenience (and Kindness!)}$

Holy Trinity Church was built during $\text{1856}$ as a special place called a ‘Chapel of Ease’. That just means it’s a smaller church built within a parish (our main parish church is at Deerhurst) so that people who live further away don’t have a long, difficult journey to attend services.

It was built primarily to help the wonderful residents of Apperley avoid the long, cold walk to Deerhurst in the winter!

The church was built by Henry Eustatius Strickland of $\text{Apperley Court}$. The person who designed it was his clever nephew, Francis Cranmer Penrose. He was an important architect who was even the Surveyor of the Fabric for St. Paul’s Cathedral in London (Sir Christopher Wren was the very first).

We are so proud of our local church’s history and its connection to our community.

What is PSQM?

The Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM) enables schools across the UK to evaluate, strengthen and celebrate their science provision. We began our year-long journey in March 2022 with the aim of achieving PSQM by March 2023. You can read about our journey below.

Vision and Principles for Science

One of the first things we did as a school was to consider what our vision for science teaching was and the principles behind that vision. This involved lots of discussions with staff and children until we all came to a final agreement which was turned into a poster. This poster is now on display in all of our classrooms.

Meet Our Science Leaders!

Jonathan, Imogen, Sonny, Ellis, Ella and George have all been chosen as our Science Leaders for this year. They are going to help their class teachers to set up and put away science resources; take responsibility for keeping the class ‘Science in the News’ books up to date; take photographs during science lessons for our Science in Our School portfolio; talk to teachers about science in their classes and support any science events we have in school.

Thank you all so much for volunteering to undertake this very important role in school.
