The School Today
A significant proportion of Trinity's pupils come from local state schools and so join aged 10 or 11, however there is also a large intake of prep schooled boys at 10, 11 and 13+ who choose Trinity School over other public schools. The traditional curriculum is studied by all pupils at Trinity with the optional subjects at GCSE such as Mandarin Chinese becoming more and more popular. The school has a co-educational Sixth Form, a feature that was implemented in September 2012. For this change, a new state-of-the-art Sixth Form Centre was constructed and opened by the Mayor of London Boris Johnson.
As well as in the main sports of water polo, rugby union, hockey and cricket, Trinity has also enjoyed regional and national success in sports as diverse as swimming, athletics, and squash. Trinity has outstanding sporting facilities including a multi-million pound centre with two large halls, several squash courts and a gym and accompanying weights-room. There are two large astro-turf pitches and 4 hard tennis courts along with pitches for rugby, cricket, football and athletics as well as the grounds at the school's nearby field, Sandilands.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or today:
“Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And every where that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go;
He followed her to school one day—
That was against the rule,
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb at school.”
—Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788–1879)
“You can make children believe whatever you want, and the children of today are the soldiers and mothers of tomorrow.”
—Dudley Nichols, U.S. screenwriter. Jean Renoir. Major Von Keller (Walter Slezak)
