School Houses

Every pupil at Trinity Primary Academy is a member of a house.

This helps to develop pupils leadership, create opportunities for children to take on responsibility and give children a sense of belonging when they compete in team events. Pupils will earn points for their houses through demonstrating Trinity's values of respect, harmony and achievement; leading by example; and through competing for their house, giving events such as sports day more meaning.

The four houses have been named after Londoners who have made significant contributions in theirs fields:

Adepitan
