Trent Sport

Trent has a very strong sporting tradition and an enviable record of sporting achievement, with a national reputation in hockey, cricket, tennis and rugby. Many of our students are regularly selected for county, regional and national honours. Every child is coached by a team of highly trained staff, led by a large specialist Physical Education Department. Trent students get the chance to practise and they get the chance to play and represent their school.

Our first class facilities are extensive and include superbly maintained grounds, two floodlit all-weather pitches, an indoor swimming pool and a sports complex with squash and tennis courts, all within our campus. The major sports are rugby, hockey and cricket for boys and netball, hockey and tennis for girls. There are also over 20 different sports on offer including athletics, aerobics, adventurous activities, badminton, circuit training, canoeing, fencing, mountain biking, rifle shooting, rounders, squash and table tennis.

The main emphasis in the sporting life of Trent is on excellence, but not only for the very talented, as we also strongly encourage inclusion and enjoyment for all students, whatever their ability. The school organises competitive fixtures at every age group with very high levels of participation and runs a number of annual sporting tours.
