Trentham Academy (formerly Trentham High School) is a coeducational secondary school located in the village of Trentham in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. [2]
On 3 July 2015, Trentham High made national coverage on ITV's This Morning , about the school's new policy on that school skirts would be banned for females, and only trousers are to be worn. [3]
The school offers a range of subjects. Most are compulsory in years 7 and 8 and become optional in years 9, 10 and 11, when students will sit exams.
Subjects include:
Trentham Academy operates a house system involving all years. [4] On admission to the school, each student is assigned to one of the three houses:
Within these houses, the students have morning form sessions together consisting of students from years 7 to 9.
House competitions include:
Each house is led by an achievement manager, who is in charge of organising all house activities. They are assisted by two house captains, selected from the year 11 students. The house captains are responsible for organising and preparing the teams for the competitions and often officiate at the events themselves. All students and staff are members of a house. Students at Trentham Academy are all placed into house tutor groups. A student in year 7 will therefore be placed in a tutor group composed of fellow year 7 students and a number of year 8 and 9 students forming a vertical tutor group. This enables older students to support and ‘buddy’ year 7 students in all aspects of school life. [4]
Trentham does have a sixth form but most students progress their studies onto local sixth forms and college. The main destinations include: City of Stoke-on-Trent Sixth Form College, Newcastle-under-Lyme College sixth form and local grammar school St Josephs Sixth Form.
