Music, Cultural & Social Life

Trinity School

Field trips, cultural visits to museums, art galleries, the theatre, ballet and opera are arranged together with industrial visits, European trips and sports tours.

Music

The School has a thriving Music Department consisting of sixteen specialist staff with large numbers of pupils, aged six years and upwards, playing a wide range of instruments. There are various choirs within the Preparatory and Senior Departments (including a Chamber Choir and a Choral Society), as well as instrumental groups including the Strings Group, the Swing Band and Prep Orchestra. Choral and instrumental concerts are held in and out of school. With the opening of the Wolfson Music Centre in 1990, Trinity offers an excellent range of facilities, centred in a large teaching and rehearsal room. Various musical events are staged during the academic year. Pupils achieve their grades through the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and Trinity College Examinations.

Art

Within the Art Department much excellent work is produced and in recent years Trinity has won a number of West Country and National Art prizes. The Art Department continues to provide a popular curricular and extra-curricular activity. A newly constructed Art Department was opened in September 2005, which allows students a greater opportunity to express themselves, particularly at AS & A2 level.

Drama

The School offers a wide range of opportunities in Drama, through various Nursery, Preparatory and Senior assemblies and productions. In addition to Form and House plays, there are major performances annually, including an inter-House Arts Festival. Dance and Music are integral parts of these productions.

Public Speaking

Pupils are prepared for local public-speaking competitions. Success at these can lead on to national competitions. There is also the opportunity for debating through the extra-curricular programme and various School Councils.

Social

Pupils develop socially through the extra-curricular life of the School. Numerous social events are organised throughout the year by pupils, staff and parents: the Summer Ball, Karaoke Evenings, various discos and barbecues to name but a few.
