Welcome from our Headteacher

I feel incredibly privileged to be the Headteacher of Matlock Bath Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School.

Every decision the staff and I make is for the benefit of all our children and this enthusiasm and vision is reflected in all we do. Whilst at MBHT our ethos is firmly rooted in our Church of England status we offer education to all children of all faiths and none. Our aim is to create an environment based on Christian principles, such as: compassion, perseverance and generosity, where every child can flourish and achieve, supported by the best efforts of all those involved in the school. We endeavour to enable all children to achieve their fullest potential in a supportive environment. Our children often say that “school feels like a family” – a reflection of one of our main values - community - that we seek to promote.

At MBHT we really value high quality teaching for children and are, therefore, keen to embrace new initiatives to encourage our children to succeed in everything they do. We are proud of our curriculum that promotes inclusion and encourages creativity, recognising that children are individuals and respond differently to different tasks. Our staff, governors, and parents work in unison to ensure that our children receive the best possible education, enabling them to develop academically, spiritually, emotionally, socially and morally.

If you are looking for school provision in the area, we would be delighted to show you around our lovely school. The children at MBHT and their families are warm and welcoming and we feel lucky to be a part of their educational journeys. We hope you will allow us to be a part of your child’s future too.
