A central part of our school vision is to provide outstanding pastoral care within a strong sense of community. We believe that the welfare of all of our pupils is paramount, because when a child feels safe and secure in their environment they are able to learn and develop their talents to the full.

At Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School, we have a team of people who are responsible for the pastoral care of the children. Mr David Le Templier is our Designated Safeguarding Lead. Mrs Jodie Childs is our Family Support Worker and she oversees welfare support for our children and their families. Part of this role includes promoting children's safety and well-being, monitoring attendance and working alongside families to remove any social, emotional or welfare barriers to learning. 

The aim of our pastoral support is to remove barriers to learning and to support families and children to ensure that all of our children are ready and prepared to make good academic progress.

When families need or ask for greater support, we are able to work alongside Gloucestershire Early Help. This is a local authority service which provides help, support, guidance and intervention for children and their families. This is a really positive service and can help unlock the right support for families at the right time.

If you would like to know more about Early Help, then please read the school's offer for Early Help in the Policies section of this website.

We also offer, through our partnership with Young Minds Matter, a referral service to support children experiencing trauma or requiring mental health support. Please see the attached leaflet below for more information.
