We're extremely proud of our very own Mark Barnabas, being named as a Teacher of the Year in a Primary School Silver Winner at this years The Pearson National Teaching Awards!👏

Today, colleagues from our four primary academies stepped into ‘My Place, Your Place, Our Place’ with the brilliant @primageographer 🌍 Paula re-ignited our inner geographers— modelling fieldwork thinking tools, practical skills and collaborative planning that put locality, pride and identity at the heart of the curriculum. To finish, teams wrote a haiku in different places around the training centre. Can you match these poems to their photo?👇 🌳 Hilltop breezes play ☘️ Swings laugh, clover crowns the lawn 👀 Mixenden looks on 👥 Viaduct shadows 🐦 Birdsong threads through moss arches 🌲 Wild path holds our hush #PrimaryGeography #TeamTrinity #PrimaryCollaboration
