Holy Trinity CE Junior School has served the parish of Wallington since 1826 when the first school for boys was founded and stood in Wrights’ Row near Wallington Green. The present building in Bute Road was opened in 1896 with infants, boys and girls under separate headteachers. In 1956, the school became an all through primary with 264 children until 1961 when the infants went to Beddington and juniors went to Holy Trinity.
Holy Trinity is a Voluntary Aided Church of England Junior School where the Christian ethos is part of all we do, and where the children, their families and backgrounds are valued and respected.
We have close links with Holy Trinity, St.Patrick’s and Springfield Churches. The Churches provide the majority of our governors as well as a percentage of the maintenance costs. Clergy and Christian workers regularly lead Assembly and sometimes contribute to RE lessons. Some of our school services are held in Church, when parents and friends are always welcome.
The school roll is 360, and there are twelve classes of 30 children allocated according to age, from Year 3 to Year 6. Most of our pupils transfer from Beddington Infants School.
There is a playground with a large field. We have a fully equipped computer suite and a music room, which was recently built along with new kitchens so that all our school dinners are now cooked on site. There are further plans to replace the temporary classrooms with new rooms attached to the main building, but that will depend on approval and support from the DfES and a great deal of fundraising!
