Trinity Primary School 
Cultural Capital
At Trinity Anglican Methodist Primary School, we value cultural capital as a vital part of developing the whole child. We believe that every pupil should have access to rich experiences, knowledge, and opportunities that broaden their horizons and prepare them for life beyond the classroom. Through a wide range of activities—such as educational visits, engagement with the arts, literature, and community events—we aim to nurture curiosity, confidence, and an appreciation of diversity. Our commitment to cultural capital ensures that children not only achieve academically but also grow socially, emotionally, and spiritually, equipping them for future success.
Engagement with the Arts
Music Lessons
Pupils in Year 3 and above can access 1:1 instrumental lessons through the North Somerset Music Service, delivered by experienced specialist tutors across the area. A wide range of instruments is available, including guitar, keyboard, violin, flute and drums, taught by qualified instrumental teachers who work in schools across North Somerset. The service provides high‑quality, individual tuition for children of all abilities, helping them develop musical skills, confidence and enjoyment through personalised learning. Families can sign up directly with the school or through the service, who then arrange in‑school lessons to suit the child’s timetable and needs.
Choir
Our school Choir Club is a joyful and inclusive group where children come together to develop their singing skills, build confidence and enjoy making music as part of a team. Throughout the term, the choir works hard learning a range of songs, and their enthusiasm shines when they perform for our community. At Christmas, the choir proudly sings at the school Christmas Fair, bringing festive cheer to families and visitors. They also visit a local care home, where their singing brings joy, connection and moments of real warmth to residents. These experiences help pupils understand the power of music to brighten someone’s day and allow them to share their talents in meaningful and memorable ways.
Creativity Workshops
Available 4 nights a week after school. Children are free to experiment, make mistakes, be innovative, communicate and have fun. Each workshop has a different theme for each half term.
Awe and Wonder
Nurse visits Year 2
A nurse came to visit our Year 2 class to talk about her job and why she chose a career in nursing. She explained how much she enjoys helping people and making them feel better when they are unwell. The children were fascinated to hear about the different places she works and the special equipment she uses. Her visit inspired lots of thoughtful questions and helped the class understand the importance of caring for others.
Sports
Cup Stacking in Year 1 & 2
Cup stacking is a fast‑paced and engaging PE activity that helps children develop coordination, teamwork and fine motor skills. Using specially designed plastic cups, pupils learn to build and dismantle stacks in set patterns, encouraging focus, quick reactions and problem‑solving. It’s an inclusive activity where every child can take part, and the competitive but friendly nature of cup stacking motivates pupils to improve their speed and accuracy. As they work individually or in teams, children build confidence while having fun and staying active in a different, exciting way.
Year 4 Sports at Gordano
Year 4 visited Gordano Secondary School in Portishead to embark in an afternoon of sports.
Community Events
Animal Care Day
To help raise funds for caring for our fabulous school pets, we celebrated Animal Care Day in style! Everyone dressed up in their best animal-themed outfits, bringing creativity and fun to the day. Our Reception class had an extra special treat—they welcomed two friendly dogs into their classroom for cuddles and learning.
It was a wonderful day filled with laughter, kindness, and a shared commitment to looking after the animals that are part of our Trinity family.
Odd Sock Day
Odd Sock Day is a fun event where everyone wears mismatched socks to celebrate the fact that we are all unique. We took part in school to help raise awareness of anti‑bullying and to remind pupils that it’s okay to be different. By proudly wearing odd socks, we encouraged kindness, acceptance, and celebrating what makes each of us special.
Educational Visits
Year 3 visit a Stone Age Camp
Year 3 enjoyed an exciting visit to a Stone Age camp in Cheddar, where they had the chance to step back in time and experience life as early humans. The children explored shelters, learned about tools and hunting, and discovered how people survived using natural resources. The visit helped bring their history learning to life and sparked lots of curiosity about life in prehistoric Britain.
Year 4 visit the Roman Baths
Year 4 enjoyed a fascinating trip to the Roman Baths in Bath, where they explored the ancient bathing complex and discovered how the Romans used the natural hot springs. The children were able to walk around the Great Bath, examine original Roman artefacts, and learn about the engineering behind the hypocaust heating system. They also visited the museum, where they saw carvings, mosaics, and interactive displays that helped bring Roman life to vivid reality. The trip really enriched their history learning and sparked lots of thoughtful discussion back in class.
