We are a thriving independent day and boarding school with the belief that with the right support and opportunities every child can achieve their personal best. In our community, pupils achieve more than their very best exam results. Every day is a chance to discover new passions and skills, preparing for a future filled with possibilities. Our pupils have a life ahead of them that remains in the imagination many will do jobs that do not yet exist using technologies that have not yet been developed they will be moving in a society whose frontiers, both physical and mental, will have moved. The simple delivery of a body of knowledge is no longer enough, and the pupils of today need to learn the skills that will allow them to operate in this brave new world. We encourage our pupils to aim as high as they can, to be inquisitive, confident, and ambitious at the same time, we urge them not to fear failure and to see challenge and adversity as opportunities, not obstacles. All this we do both in the classroom but also through the richness and diversity of school life that lies beyond. One of the fundamental strengths of Trent College is that it is undoubtedly an environment where academic excellence and educational fulfillment are given the highest priority. One of my key responsibilities is to make sure that the best teaching brings about the highest quality of learning across all subjects, leading ultimately to outcomes in public examinations that are as strong as they can be for each individual. However, this must not be done exclusively and at the expense of all the other things that form part of a meaningful all-around education. We celebrate pupils realizing their full academic potential, whilst encouraging pupils to get involved in activities that build a sense of purpose, confidence, resilience, emotional wellbeing, and healthy lifestyles. Our VisionTo has an exceptional reputation for providing a first-class all-round education for boys and girls which ensures the best possible start for their future and enables them to be the best they can be. Our ethos gives the highest priority to the quality of our academic provision. We are also proud of our reputation for delivering a fully rounded curriculum, with sport, music, art, and drama all being important elements of education at Trent. This, coupled with a focus on the strongest pastoral care, makes us a school that nurtures young men and women to be the best they can be in terms of achievement and character, enabling them to flourish in a changing world. This is what stands at the very core of Trent. View full school

Life in our school is diverse and busy. Our curriculum aims to excite, challenge and support every child, to find strengths, and to build aspirations. Every day, you will find something exciting going on. Our pupils tell us they love school and they enjoy learning, that their teachers have time for them and they are well cared for. Academic excellence, enriched through sport, music, and the Arts - nurtured through our Christian values - this is life at Trent. Trent CE Primary School understands the importance of promoting British values through a comprehensive and unprejudiced curriculum. The Headteacher will ensure that all teachers and staff are aware of the requirement to uphold British values through the methods outlined in this policy, and will ensure that the appropriate procedures are in place to carry out these methods. Teachers and support staff will ensure that their lessons are inclusive of and sensitive to, the fundamental British values. Pupils are expected to treat each other and staff with respect, in line with the school’s Behaviour Policy. At Trent CE Primary School pupils have numerous opportunities to have their views heard through pupil questionnaires and the pupil-elected school council. Our pupils are encouraged to have an input into what and how they learn to instill an understanding of democracy for their future. At Trent CE Primary School we foster a safe and supportive environment where pupils are actively encouraged to make choices. Whether it is choosing a challenging task or an extracurricular club, pupils have the freedom to base their choices on their interests. Pupils are taught about their rights and personal freedoms and are encouraged and advised on how to exercise these safely, for instance through our teaching on e-safety. Respect forms a core pillar of Trent’s ethos. Pupils are treated with respect and learn to treat each other and staff with respect. This is reinforced through our Behaviour Policy and posters throughout the school promoting mutual respect. Trent CE Primary School acknowledges that tolerance is achieved through pupils’ knowledge and understanding of their place in a culturally diverse society and the opportunity for pupils to experience such diversity. Throughout the year, assemblies are held focusing on bullying, concerning prejudice-based bullying, and discussion is encouraged. Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs is supported by the RE and PSHE curriculum. We encourage our pupils from different faiths or religions to share their knowledge with their peers to enhance their learning. Annually, pupils learn more about different faiths in a World Faith week when classes visit places of worship from many faiths and meet visitors from a variety of religions. These include Islam, Judaism, Jain, Hindu, Greek Orthodox Christianity, Buddhism, and Christianity. View full school
