[edit] Introduction

Holy Trinity (or HT) is a school with an Christian based ethos located in Guildford in the United Kingdom. It is for children in school years 3 - 6. The school promotes individuality, caring, learning and doing your best. It is famous throughout Guildford town for the casualness and the fun in the learning. Staff are referred to by their first names which helps develop better student - teacher relationships. Holy Trinity have created an environment which fosters children's love for learning and helps them be enthusiastic with everything they do. The co-curricular activities are a big part of everyday school life as Holy Trinity believes that not all learning should take place in the class-room.


[edit] Fluffy Friday's

Twice a term the whole school takes time out from normal lessons to have a "Fluffy Friday" These consist of a wide range of activities from kite making to off road biking. Each child nominates which activity they would like to take part in and they are not allowed to do the same activity twice so that everyone gets a turn at trying something new. The children spend the whole day doing their chosen activity and learning a new skill or making new friends from it. This is the main source of intra-year interaction.


[edit] Camps

Throughout the four years the children go on three different camps and have a year group sleepover. The year group sleepover takes place in Year 3. The children are dropped of at Newlands Corner (just out of Guildford) where they participate in games led by a group leader. They then walk back to the school, have a bbq and stay the night.

The Year 4 camp is of three days duration. The children camp in tents and eat in a communal scout hall. They participate in many different a varied activities including swimming, go-carting, archery and a country walk.

In Year 5 the children visit Brenscombe Farm in Dorset. Brenscombe farm is an outdoor adventure centre located near Poole and Brownsea Island. On the first day the children catch a ferry over to the island and do a nature walk. They then head to the centre. The children are sorted into groups of about 10 and sleep in dorms of up to six people. They do all sorts of activities including rock climbing and abseiling (at the highly acclaimed Dancing Ledge) having fish and chips on the beach, sea canoeing, team games, adventure course, powerboating, bonfire, rock pooling (at Kimerage Bay) and football. This camp is the most thoroughly enjoyed by both students and staff.

The Year 6 camp is located in Shropshire. The students spend a week staying in an old farm house and doing activities such as nature walks, pond dipping, orienteering, football and trust games. The highlight of the Year 6 camp is visiting the working Victorian Village which is near-by and improvising in the school house (the year group of 2004's improvisation appeared on a documentary about co-curricular activities).
