Cultural Capital

🌍 Cultural Capital at Holy Trinity 

At Holy Trinity, we believe learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Our Cultural Capital Programme is all about giving students the knowledge, skills, and experiences they need to thrive in the real world. 

It all began with our first Enrichment Week in 2021, a week of discovery, challenge, and fun that brought our whole school community together. Since then, we’ve expanded our vision, offering students exciting opportunities to grow in confidence, character, and life experience. 

💡 What is Cultural Capital? 

Cultural Capital is the toolkit students build to help them understand and navigate the world around them. It includes: 

• Real-world knowledge and awareness 

• Confidence and independence 

• Skills to challenge stereotypes and overcome barriers 

• The ability to make informed choices about their future 

At Holy Trinity, we want every student to flourish. That’s why we offer rich, meaningful, and lasting experiences that help them become confident, compassionate, and capable individuals. 

🎒 Key Stage 3: The Passport Programme 

Our KS3 Passport gives students a wide range of experiences by the end of Year 9 – each one designed to support personal growth and reflect our school values: Dignity, Community, Wisdom, and Hope. 

🌟 What’s Included? 

Over four dedicated days spread across the school year, students take part in a variety of trips and activities, such as: 

• Hindu Temple visit – understanding faith and diversity 

• Brighton Beach & Sea Life Centre – coastal environments and marine biology 

• Portsmouth Historic Dockyards – naval history and engineering 

• London Zoo – biodiversity and conservation 

• London Dungeons – immersive historical storytelling 

• Tower of London – royal history and British monarchy 

Our HTS highlight is the Year 8 Residential, where students camp out and take part in outdoor and adventurous activities—building resilience, independence, and teamwork in a fun and memorable setting.
