Year 12 students!

The end to your school time at Trafalgar School was not as we had wanted and your prom was sadly cancelled. Restrictions are easing and The Queens Hotel have finally been in touch with possible dates for a prom this summer! We therefore now need to know how many of you would still be keen to attend.

The Queens Hotel do require a certain number of people to attend for the event to run and for it to be affordable but we also have the option of combining your prom with the current Year 11 at Trafalgar School to ensure you don't miss out.

Please complete the google form below ASAP to register your interest for the prom and indicate whether you would be happy for a joint prom if that is the only way for it to run.

We look forward to hearing from you (and hopefully seeing you!) soon. 😄

🇻🇨 Just hours after the eruption of La Soufr

🇻🇨 Just hours after the eruption of La Soufrière Volcano in their hometown of St Vincent & the Grenadines, students Kyla and Jade approached their Heads of House to ask if the school could help with the volcano relief effort. With community as one of our core values the whole school pulled together to help our wider community in St Vincent.

In true #teamtrafalgar style we were soon inundated with donations, and are extremely proud to say that it is now safely on its way to help the people of St Vincent!

We would like to thank everybody that donated items from children’s toys, books, sanitary products and food, to face masks to protect against the constant streams of ash, your generosity is much appreciated. Your donations will help countless people on the island to access basic necessities during this devastating crisis. 🇻🇨

The DofE students are getting prepared for their training expedition (29th May for Y9 and 30th May Y10) and assessment expedition (3rd and 4th July, overnight).

This week's training session included learning about the safety of cooking on a stove and for them to consider the best food to fuel them for two days of activity. They definitely enjoyed the hot chocolate more than the washing up!

As you are aware, the government has requested for

As you are aware, the government has requested for all students to continue to test twice a week at home using COVID-19 Self-Testing Kits.

Unfortunately, there has been a delay in the delivery of home testing kits to schools across Portsmouth, therefore we are asking students to use up any spare tests that you have in the home in order to complete the testing on Sunday 25th April and Wednesday 28th April.

As a household, you can also order home testing kits using the following link: https://www.portsmouth.gov.uk/services/coronavirus-covid-19/getting-tested-for-coronavirus-in-portsmouth/community-testing-for-covid-19-in-portsmouth/

If you are unable to access any home testing kits for your child next week, please rest assured that we will be able to test some students on the school site using our limited stock. Your child's tutor will give them further instructions on Monday morning if they require a test from us.

Once we have received our next delivery of home testing kits, we will endeavour to pass them onto students as soon as possible.

Many thanks for your continued support.

We've loved having our students back so far this week!

Keeping up our attendance in the final term is just as important as the beginning of the year, missed lessons and missed days all add up to missed learning. Keep being on time to tutor and your lessons so you aren't missing out!

Keep your eyes peeled for best attendance and most improved starting soon!

A message from Kyla and Jade in Year 9:

“Our island, Saint Vincent, is currently facing a natural disaster due to a volcanic eruption and our community needs supplies. We are looking for female sanitary supplies, baby food, nappies, toys, blankets, masks, canned food, toothpaste and toothbrushes.”

Starting today and running until Wednesday 28th April we are having a house competition.

Whichever house donates the most supplies will receive 1,000 house points and get a picture with the Saint Vincent flag! Donations will be collected from tutor rooms each morning until the closing date.

A final message from the girls:
“We would love for everyone to try and take part, even if the donations are small. Thank you!”

Over the last year, the school has implemented new

Over the last year, the school has implemented new ways of delivering high quality learning for our students using Chromebooks.

This has been exceptionally valuable for students and staff across the curriculum (whether used in school or accessed at home). We are now in a situation where every child in the school has access to a Chromebook on a daily basis and there is considerable expertise in the use of this technology for teaching and learning.

It is our vision and determination that every child will have access to affordable, high quality devices which they can use in lessons and at home.

The portal for the popular Chromebook Scheme is now open, ready for you to purchase a Chromebook for your child if you wish to do so.

Orders needs to be placed by Thursday 10th June 2021 with the first direct debit due on 25th August. Devices will arrive in school during September.

A flyer about the scheme has been sent out for your information, and includes details of how to access the portal. If your child is eligible for free school meals, please do contact the school as we are able to offer substantial financial support if you would like to be part of this scheme.

We are passionate about ensuring that all our students can have full access to this provision and would strongly encourage you to consider joining the scheme.

Year 7 Parents’ Evening is on Thursday 6th May between 4.00pm to 7.30pm. During this Parents’ Evening, subject teachers will be available to discuss your child’s progress and offer you strategies to support them with their learning.

Ordinarily we would invite you onsite for this event but given the current situation, sadly we are unable to do this, so it will be held virtually via School Cloud.

You will want to book quickly to ensure you get appointment times that suit you best. To arrange your appointments, go to: https://trafalgarportsmouth.schoolcloud.co.uk/

In the unlikely event a teacher’s name does not appear on the list of available staff, this means they are already fully booked. Please feel free to contact the school and arrange to speak to that member of staff on a separate occasion.

We look forward to meeting you and your child virtually soon!
