Trent College特伦特学院

About the school
Trent College is an independent day and boarding school for boys and girls aged between 11 and 18 years. It was founded in 1866 as a boys' boarding school.

The school has a junior school, The Elms. Both are administered as a charitable trust by the same governing body. Boarders are accommodated in one of four boarding houses. A small number of junior boarders from The EIms are hosted in boarding houses at Trent College. Two boarding houses are located within the school building, and two are nearby on the school site.

Since the last inspection the school has reviewed its curriculum and school day. The pastoral care system has returned to a horizontal year group system.

What the school seeks to do
The school aims to give the highest priority to the quality of its academic provision and pastoral care, while delivering a rounded curriculum, including sport, music, art and drama. It seeks to nurture young men and women to be the best they can be in achievement and character.

About the pupils

The school has identified 53 pupils as having special educational needs and/or disabilities who receive additional specialist help. No pupils in the school have an education, health and care plan or a statement of special educational needs. English is an additional language for 54 pupils, whose needs are supported by specialist tuition and by classroom teachers. Data used by the school have identified 110 pupils as being the most able in the school's population. The curriculum is modified for them, and for 130 other pupils because of their special talents in sport, music, art or drama.
