What is the TSA?
Trinity School Association (TSA) is a partnership body between parents, teachers and others associated with the school community. As a parent or guardian of a child at Trinity C. of E.V.A. Primary School, you are automatically a member of the TSA while your child is at the school. It provides the framework for parents to work with the school by actively participating in the education of their children and helping the school. It acts as an informal channel of communication between parents and teachers by holding meetings to discuss areas of interest/concern, raise funds for the school and hosting social events.

Research clearly shows that support by parents is an important part of making school a success. The TSA therefore plays a vital part in your child's education.

Benefits of being involved with the TSA.
The TSA is a very good way to bring together parents, teachers and others who are interested in supporting the school. It provides an opportunity for everyone to work together towards common goals. All parents and teachers can get involved, even if they only have a small amount of time available.

It can help parents:

  • Feel part of the school community.
  • Improve the school.
  • Understand the school's aims and aspirations.
  • Be aware of the school's needs.
  • Find out more about how the school works.
  • Improve ways of supporting the curriculum at home.
  • Get to know each other - whilst taking part in a range of activities.
  • Communicate their views.
  • Fundraise for extra items or services to enrich the children's education.

It can help children:
  • Receive a richer education as a result of items bought by the TSA.
  • Benefit from their parents increased understanding of the school.


It can help teachers:
Reach potential volunteers and enthusiasts who may help with school projects.

What does the TSA do?
The TSA is involved in a large number of school activities including helping the school, running the school uniform shop and fundraising.
Fundraising helps to pay for those little "extras" that the children enjoy such as the Christmas tree, providing entertainment and equipment requested by the school. As the school is Church of England Voluntary Aided (C. of E.V.A.), it also provides funds necessary to support the cost of major improvements such as the two new classrooms and computer facility. Fundraising includes fetes, fairs, quizzes, auctions, disco's, prize draws and sponsored events. We are always looking for new ideas and advice for fundraising.
TSA parents regularly help with reading, crafts, swimming and supervising educational visits. Before and after school hours assistance is given to cycling proficiency, sports events, the story sack project and clubs. Social events for parents and children help provide a great opportunity to meet and get to know each other.
Regular meetings are held to discuss school issues and fundraising activities. Members are informed about education issues, especially when changes are taking place.

Without continued support it will be impossible to continue with the good work the TSA currently carries out.
