FULFILLING POTENTIAL

Evening Prep, under the supervision of Trent teachers, enables academic progress to remain at the top of every pupil’s agenda.  A healthy balance between study and social activities is encouraged, with boarders benefiting from extended access to onsite facilities and learning resources.  The Devonshire Library, Art Studio and Wortley Sixth Form Centre are available throughout the week, along with opportunities to use our extensive leisure facilities such as the pool, gym and grounds.
