Trinity School
· TQ14 8LY
Trinity School is a small, all-through independent day and boarding school set in Teignmouth, Devon, overlooking the sea. With just 278 pupils from Nursery to Sixth Form, it offers an unusually intimate community where staff know every child by name and individual attention is the norm rather than the exception. The school actively recruits international boarders alongside local day pupils, creating a culturally diverse 'Trinitonian' community. Its seaside setting, specialist football and golf programmes, and family-scale environment distinguish it clearly from larger independent schools in the South West.
- →Very small school size ensuring genuine individual attention from Nursery through Sixth Form
- →Distinctive specialist programmes in football and golf, attracting sports-focused pupils
- →Boarding provision with international pupils giving a genuinely cosmopolitan feel in a safe, small-town coastal setting
- →All-through structure means minimal transition disruption from age 3 to 18
Who thrives here
Pupils who would thrive in a close-knit, nurturing environment rather than a large competitive school, including those with a strong sporting specialism or international boarders seeking a supportive home-from-home in Devon.
