How to apply for a place at Trent College
The Open Mornings in the Summer term and the Open Evenings in Autumn offer an informal introduction to Trent College and enable you to meet pupils and staff.
However, the best way to fully appreciate life at Trent is to arrange an individual visit, where you will be shown round by a senior member of staff during a working day.
Please contact our Registrar on 0115 849 4950, by email at registrar@trentcollege.net or by writing to Trent College, Derby Road, Long Eaton, Nottingham NG10 4AD for further information and to arrange a visit.
Once you are ready to make an application, you will be required to complete a Registration Form, which can be downloaded from this website. Please return it to the Registrar, Trent College, Derby Road, Long Eaton, Nottingham NG10 4AD, along with a cheque for £60. A report will then be requested from your child's current school and information about the relevant Entrance Examination will be sent to you. You will also be provided with information about applying for a Scholarship.
Admissions Procedure
The normal entry points are: Year 7 | Year 9 | Sixth Form
We do occasionally have vacancies in other Year Groups.
Year 7 Entry
The basis of selection is the Year 7 Entrance Examination. However, a great deal of attention is paid to the confidential report supplied by an applicant's current school. All candidates will also have a short interview at the School before they sit the Entrance Examination.
Year 9 Entry
This is either by direct entry from the Lower School, by Common Entrance or by a Trent Test.
The Sixth Form
This is either directly from the Main School or from other schools by a pre-GCSE application. For those joining from outside Trent College, provisional places are offered as a result of an interview and a confidential school report.
Final acceptance for all students is conditional on their gaining three B and two C grades at GCSE, which should include Mathematics and English Language.
There are specific requirements for certain subjects which are detailed in our Sixth Form Booklet.
