Trimdon Hill School

28/09/2026

Today sees the publication of our Ofsted report.

The team visited the school in July and saw first hand the reason Trimdon Hill School is such a special place and we couldn’t be prouder to have achieved strong judgements in all areas of the inspection.

I would like to extend our sincere thanks to all families for their unwavering support throughout our opening journey. We are extremely proud of the report and feel that it accurately reflects the hard work, dedication and commitment of our staff, alongside the invaluable support provided by our families and wider community.

We have always known that Trimdon Hill is a very special place. It is therefore particularly pleasing to see this recognised externally, with the report highlighting the many ways in which our children truly SHINE.

Please head over to our website or the Ofsted website to read the detailed report.

A little quote that reminded me of some of our gorgeous little people today!

As we head into our very last day of this incredible school year tomorrow, we've been taking a moment to look back on the journey that has brought us here.

What a year it has been.

This time last year, we were preparing to open our doors with a vision, a dream and a hope that we could create something truly special. Never did we imagine the school we would build, the community we would become, or the impact our little people would have on all of us.

We've celebrated first words, first friendships, first steps towards independence and achievements that once felt impossible. Every smile, every breakthrough and every moment of courage has reminded us exactly why Trimdon Hill exists.

To our amazing families, thank you. Thank you for trusting us with your children, for believing in our vision and for becoming such an important part of our school family. We couldn't have done this without you.

To our incredible children, you are the heartbeat of everything we do. Your resilience, determination, kindness and unique personalities make every single day an adventure. You have taught us just as much as we could ever hope to teach you.

And to our phenomenal staff team, thank you for giving your all, every single day. Your care, compassion and unwavering belief in every child is what makes Trimdon Hill shine.

As we close the chapter on our very first year, we do so with hearts full of pride and excitement for everything still to come.

This video is just a small glimpse into a year that has changed so many lives (we could have made an hour long video and it still wouldn't be enough).

Thank you for being part of our story. Here's to our first year... and to many more years of helping every child SHINE . 💛✨

🌟 EFL of the Week 🌟

This week's EFL goes to C! 💛

Once upon a time, writing felt really scary. Picking up a pencil often ended in tears, and putting pen to paper seemed like an impossible challenge.

Fast forward to today... look at you now! ✨

Not only are you proud of your beautiful handwriting, but you're also confidently sharing your writing with other classes and showing everyone just how far you've come.

And do you know what? You're absolutely right to be proud...

You are quickly becoming our school SUPER WRITER! 🦸✍️

This was one of those days that reminds us why every tiny step matters. 🧸💛

Our Teddy Bears' Picnic wasn't just a picnic... it was a celebration of every child's journey.

For many of our children, there was a time when school felt scarily challenging. Some found being around other children too overwhelming..Some found it difficult to join in with activities. Some didn't yet have a way to tell the world what they wanted, needed or felt.

Today, they laughed together. They played together. They shared food, explored, communicated in their own incredible ways, and celebrated alongside their families and friends.

To many people, it might have looked like a lovely afternoon in the sunshine.

To us, it was so much more.

It was months and years of trust, patience, teamwork and unwavering belief coming to life. It was children feeling safe enough to be themselves. It was confidence growing, friendships forming, voices being found and families making memories together.

There wasn't a single "perfect" moment at this picnic... there were hundreds of them. Every smile, every shared toy, every cuddle with a teddy, every wave, every laugh and every brave step deserved celebrating.

Thank you to our amazing families for joining us and for trusting us to be part of your child's journey. Your support, encouragement and partnership make moments like today possible.

Our hearts are so full. Today wasn't just a teddy bears' picnic.

It was proof that when children feel safe, understood and truly believed in... they SHINE. ✨🧸💛

This week's EFL of the Week doesn't go to one... it goes to our incredible Trimdon Hill staff team. 💙

After nearly a year since we opened our doors, this week we welcomed visitors into our school as well as lots of activities during one of the hottest weeks of the year and at one of the busiest times in the school calendar. Every single member of staff showed exactly what makes Trimdon Hill such a special place.

Our staff team is why Trimdon Hill truly SHINES. ⭐

Thank you for your dedication, your resilience, your kindness and your unwavering commitment to giving every child the very best.

EFL of the Week

This week's EFL goes to two superstars... H & H! 💛

Teamwork really does make the dream work!

H, you've only been part of the Trimdon Hill family for a short time, but it feels like you've been here forever. You are kind, caring and always give everything your best. Your positivity shines through every day, and we are so lucky to have you as part of our school family.

H, your confidence has grown beyond what anyone could have imagined. You are always ready to help others, share your kindness, and go above and beyond, especially when we have visitors, proudly showing them everything that makes Trimdon Hill so special.

This video captures so much more than your learning. It shows a friendship built on kindness, encouragement and celebrating each other's successes. You support one another, cheer each other on, and remind us all of what SHINE is all about.

Keep shining, you incredible pair, we are so proud of you both! ⭐💛
