Peter Prentice (1967-1977) a former member of staff and Trinity Chaplainpassed away in May.

David Sanguinetti (1968-2026) was a truly dedicated member of the Trinity Grammar School staff for over half a century, his years of service were significant and unmatched. 

 As groundskeeper and caretaker across two campuses, particularly the Marles Playing Fields, David became an iconic figure within the Trinity community – a community he cared for deeply. He served with great pride, preparing the school’s grounds to the highest standard, from which thousands of students, staff, families and OTGs have benefited. An extraordinary contribution, his legacy is rich and enduring. 

Recently unwell, David remained engaged right through to the present. Our heartfelt condolences to Reea and Glenn (OTG 1986) and their extended family. 

David’s funeral service was held at Trinity on Thursday 21 May at the Chapel of the Holy Trinity, Trinity Grammar School, Kew, and then followed by refreshments in the P&F Hall.
