BEYOND THE TIMETABLE
A top education extends far beyond exam board requirements. Life at Trent is about embracing new opportunities and becoming the best version of yourself. We help our pupils uncover skills they never knew they had and to develop and excel where they show promise.
Discover our specialist areas
Alongside our academic focus, Music, Sport and Drama are specialist areas at Trent College and The Elms. At Trent, Scholarships are available to students who excel in these fields. With our exceptional teachers, coaches and facilities students are given all the resources they require to go further in their pursuits.
ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT
Our range of enrichment activities are a fun way for pupils to enhance their academic abilities outside of the classroom in the company of friends. Lunchtime clubs like Beginners Portuguese, Young Engineers and Coding Club provide opportunities for pupils to explore their academic interests further.
CLUBS AND SOCIETIES
At Trent College we are committed to providing a wide range of clubs, activities and societies as part of our co-curricular provision. We have a busy timetable of activities and aim to provide something to suit the interests of every pupil.
community and charity ENGAGEMENT
Community is at the heart of Trent. All pupils dedicate time to deserving causes inside and outside the school gates. Peer to peer mentoring offers a lesson in responsibility and helping others, whilst fundraising is a whole school effort. Pupils also participate in community work during CCF and DofE.
Transferable Skills
The wide range of opportunities at every age gives Trent’s students the chance to develop transferable skills such as confidence, courage and self-esteem, as well as resilience, commitment, communication, cooperative working and independence.

“I think my success has been helped by finding something outside the classroom; for me that has been climbing, which has given me space. Debating has also been great for my confidence.”

Drama and Academic Scholar
“There is so much to do here, such as sport, drama and academic societies – you have everything you could ever want and there is always someone to support you in all areas.”
Ms Matthews, Deputy Head (Co-Curricular)
We believe that it is the broad-based nature and wide-ranging opportunities of our co-curricular offering which sets us apart from other schools. There really is something for everyone!
