Supporting success@Trinity Aim: The aim of the ‘Supporting Success’ initiative is to offer a wide-ranging number of interventions and support sessions to help your son or daughter make the most of this crucial examination year and achieve their full potential. What is involved in the ‘Supporting Success’ initiative? 1. Revision and catch-up sessions within different departments both during lunchtimes and after school – tailored to different groups at different times. 2. Masterclasses - For different groups of students in English, Maths and Science – students will be invited to these sessions – they are a superb way to boost those grades! 3. Tutor support - To help plan revision timetables, offer support and guidance with next steps, revision and dealing with Year 11 pressures, they will also help you look at where you need to focus your time in the coming months. Year 11 is a very demanding and challenging year for all students, and our aim at Trinity is to support each and every student in the best way possible to ensure that they reach their full potential. This year we are continuing the ‘Supporting Success’ initiative, students have heard about this during assemblies and through their tutors.

This is issued each week to show students what is on offer – they can prioritise the sessions they need to attend, as far as possible we send texts home to inform of these sessions, and put the weekly schedule on the website fyi.
