Boarding
Boarders of over 15 different nationalities enjoy complete social, cultural and academic integration into the life of the school. As a busy school, pupils have timetabled lessons Monday to Friday, and a range of activities are organised throughout the weekend. Trent College is a home-from-home for boarders and provides supportive links between the school, pupils and parents.
A BRITISH EDUCATION
International boarding students are fully integrated within the school and study a balanced curriculum which encompasses a broad range of academic subjects. This allows them to embrace a traditional UK education which builds a skillset to prepare them for the modern world. Alongside our varied academic programme, Music, Sport and Drama are specialist areas at the school, giving pupils the opportunity to excel under the guidance of expert tutors.
academic study Options
We offer a choice of programmes:
- Pre-GCSE (Years 7-9)
- Two year GCSE (Years 10-11)
- One year GCSE (Year 11)
- Two year A Level/BTEC (Years 12-13)
Short term study opportunities (minimum two terms) in Years 7 to 12 enable pupils to improve their English skills and sample a British education.
a world of possibilities
Our first class education, broad co-curricular programme and integrated careers advice, enable our students to pursue a wide range of pathways.
For some that will mean they study languages at Cambridge, or Medicine at Manchester, or Physics at King’s, but we determine success against each individual student’s ambitions and goals. Although we have a traditional attitude towards academic success, we have a very modern outlook in making sure we have the right qualifications pathway for each student.
Over the last four years we have helped to place 337 students at university, with 106 students at UK top 20 universites and 144 at Russell Group universities.

Community
International boarding pupils can truly experience a British way of life by living in a multi-cultural community, with English as the common language. Parents of boarders benefit from the knowledge that their child is being cared for in a safe and supportive home-from-home environment. In addition to their academic teachers, boarding pupils also enjoy an extended support network inside their Boarding Houses.
