THE application PROCESS
As an academically selective school, we assess applicants for Years 7 to 11 in English and Maths. Year 12 applicants will be assessed in at least two of their A Level options. Following assessments, we invite students to interview, in person or on Zoom, with one of our Senior Leadership Team.
Relocating to the UK?
We are experienced at working with families who are relocating and can arrange school tours to suit your availability, including during school holidays. We can arrange Zoom interviews and liaise with overseas schools to conduct assessments. We know there are many factors involved in relocation, and will adapt the admissions journey to suit your family’s needs.
join us
Students can join us at the start of our school year in September or throughout the academic year. Where possible, we encourage families to tour our school before registering for a place. Families applying to Trent College can do so directly or via an overseas educational agent.
