Trinity School is a non-selective, co-educational independent school in Teignmouth, Devon, founded in 1979. It takes pupils from Nursery through to the sixth form — ages 3 to 19 — on a single, compact campus overlooking the Devon coastline. Around 350 pupils are enrolled, a size that keeps classes small and staff genuinely accessible. The school holds accreditations from the BSA, ISA, ISM, and CISC (Catholic Independent Schools’ Conference), and operates as both a day and boarding school, with roughly 35% of pupils boarding at any given time.
Trinity runs GCSEs and A-Levels alongside BTEC (Business and Technology Education Council) Level 3 courses in Art and Design and Travel and Tourism. That gives pupils a broader range of post-16 pathways than most similarly sized independent schools. The non-selective intake means teaching is structured to stretch pupils across the ability range rather than assuming uniform prior attainment.
A-Level results at Trinity are notably strong for a school of this profile. In 2025, 39.4% of grades were A*, with 76.6% at A* or A and 95% reaching A*, A, or B. BTEC qualifications are also available at sixth form level, sitting alongside A-Levels rather than replacing them.

Boarding is available from age 11, with two on-campus boarding houses run on a residential rather than institutional model. Most rooms are doubles, and exeats are optional, giving families genuine flexibility around home visits. Full boarding is charged at a flat all-inclusive rate of £42,195 (2025/26) per year regardless of year group, covering tuition and accommodation together. Occasional and flexible boarding is also available for day pupils who need short-stay arrangements. Boarders and day pupils move through the same academic and social environment, so there is no split culture between the two groups.
Trinity operates an Elite Football Programme for talented players who want high-level coaching without stepping away from academic study. The programme combines technical training, strength and conditioning, nutrition work, and competitive match play, with a stated pathway toward professional clubs and university scholarships. Beyond football, the school offers co-curricular activities including art, music, drama, and IT, supported by five dedicated computer rooms on campus. The Devon coastal setting also gives pupils access to outdoor and water-based activities not available at inland schools.
The campus covers 14 acres of landscaped grounds above Teignmouth, with sea views across the Devon coast. Both boarding houses sit within the main site. Teignmouth is a small coastal town on the Teign Estuary, about 15 miles from Exeter and within easy reach of Dartmoor National Park.
Exeter Airport is approximately 15 miles from the school, typically 25 to 30 minutes by car, and serves several European routes. Bristol Airport is around 75 miles north (approximately 90 minutes by road). London Heathrow connects with Exeter via the M5 corridor in approximately 3 hours by road, or under 2.5 hours by train to Teignmouth via Exeter St Davids.
