A little of our history

Holy Trinity Church of England Aided Primary School was opened in 1980, when the village school at Great Cheverell joined with that in Erlestoke. We serve the villages of Great Cheverell, Little Cheverell, Erlestoke and Coulston though many children come to our school from outside this catchement area.

In September 2011, we became an academy – the first primary school in the Diocese of Salisbury to take this step, and one of the first in Wiltshire. This new status allows us to have greater freedom over the curriculum and over our finances so that we can make best provision for the children in our school.

We have a modern, attractive and well-designed building set in beautiful landscaped grounds overlooking Salisbury plain. In 1995 a permanent two-classroom extension was added to the school. In 1998 the staff room was extended and the headteacher’s office was added.

In 2006 we remodelled the entrance area and in 2008 built on a larger staffroom and remodelled the existing staff room to provide a small group teaching area. At present, we have 5 classes, all split between two age groups.

Our field, playground and the play equipment for the children are wonderful and much enjoyed by the children. We have a new outdoor reflection area, an outdoor theatre and a willow den.
