Headteacher’s Welcome
A warm welcome to Holy Trinity Church of England Primary Academy, Handsworth
I warmly welcome you to Holy Trinity Church of England Primary Academy – a school living out its Christian character in a genuine way and where every child is known, valued and cared for.
Proudly positioned on Handsworth’s northern fringe, our school is built on the values of Community, Aspiration, Respect, and Excellence. These are not just words on a wall—they shape every decision we make, every lesson we teach, and every relationship we build. We are proud to serve a community with such a rich history and we celebrate the unique strengths and stories that each child and their families brings.
Holy Trinity is a haven and refuge for our children – a place of ambition and care.
As of September 2025, Holy Trinity has embraced a journey of growth and renewal, shaped by a clear vision and a strong sense of purpose. I am proud to be the Headteacher of this school; where pupils are inspired to learn and staff are united in their commitment to making a difference. Guided by our Latin motto cura personalis —care for the whole person— we are committed to nurturing every aspect of a child’s development: intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual. Our curriculum is ambitious and inclusive, designed to spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and prepare pupils to flourish in a changing world. At Holy Trinity, we place our families and wider community at the heart of everything we do, working together to build a culture of excellence and care.
We know that children learn best when they feel safe, supported, and challenged. That’s why we work in partnership with families, staff, and the wider community to create a culture of high expectations and compassionate care. Whether through creative learning, leadership opportunities, or acts of kindness, our pupils learn to live out our values every day.
As Headteacher, my guiding purpose is clear: to ensure that children growing up in the inner city have access to a high-quality education—so that their future is not limited or defined by their postcode. This belief shapes every decision that my team and I make. We believe every child deserves the same high expectations, care, and opportunities—regardless of background or postcode. At Holy Trinity, this isn’t just a philosophy; it’s a promise. Our commitment to equity and excellence is woven into everything we do and is upheld by every member of our team. We challenge ourselves daily to ensure that no child is left behind, and that every decision reflects our unwavering belief in their potential.
It is with open arms that we welcome all visitors to experience what our children and their families experience on a daily basis—the energy, warmth, and excellence that define Holy Trinity Primary Academy—and the exciting journey ahead for every child who walks through our doors.
This is Handsworth. This is the Holy Trinity way.
