Welcome back to Trent for Michaelmas Term.

It’s great to have our pupils and families back in school, and lovely to see so many familiar faces alongside those joining us for the first time.

We also love seeing our children from The Elms making the move into Year 7 at Trent. Here’s to a great term ahead.

Rain didn’t stop our new Year 7 pupils from enjoying their Induction Day!

They spent the day getting to know their new form groups, taking on the Timetable Challenge and heading out across the grounds for a Trent Treasure Hunt, discovering more about the school and it's history.

In the afternoon, pupils took to the pitches for rugby and hockey sessions, with one group of girls deciding they are “best friends already.”

A huge thank you to our prefects for helping to make our new pupils feel at home and helping everything to run smoothly.

If you’re considering a Trent education for your child, come and meet us at our Open Morning on Saturday 26 September.

What makes a Head choose a school?

For Dr Dudin, it came down to the people, and most of all, the curiosity and spark he found in our pupils.

That sense of inquisitiveness was a big part of what drew him to our community and made him want to lead it.

We warmly welcome Dr Dudin to Trent.
