Sixth Form Life
"Pupils play a highly positive role in supporting the school community. They value opportunities to take on leadership roles and develop their confidence in public speaking."
As part of Sixth Form life there are opportunities to take on leadership roles through mentoring, running clubs and as part of the Prefect team. The Head Girl, Head Boy and Deputy Head Girl & Deputy Head Boy are selected at Easter during Year 12 to allow the current Year 13 team to focus on their final exams. Students in these positions lead the prefect team and meet regularly with staff and the school leadership team to forge a vital link between the student body and staff. They have a high profile role, visiting and talking with lower school tutor groups and representing the school meeting with external visitors. The current team leaders are;

Thrive Not Survive
Our Sixth Form students will be encouraged to become confident, intellectually-curious, independent thinkers and life-long learners. Our dedicated tutorial programme will support students during their time in the sixth form and also prepare them for life after Trinity.
Over the course of their time in the sixth form, students will receive support and guidance that covers five broad themes: Well-Being; Money Management, University and Careers; Work and Leadership.
| Well-Being | Money Management | University and Careers | Work | Leadership |

Work Experience
During terms 5 and 6 students are encouraged to seek work experience placements whether in blocks of time or smaller placements across the term. We believe this is essential in providing students with the depth of knowledge needed to write excellent applications to universities or apprenticeships/jobs.
Upon returning to school, students in year 12 reflect on their week and give feedback on their experience.
See our page gallery for a view into their work experience.
Words they used to describe their week are shown in the wordle below.
Our Sixth Form also provides our students with the following benefits and opportunities:

Sport
Sport is an important part of the Sixth Form at Trinity School. Time for this will be blocked out on their timetables to enable students to keep fit and active and for our sports teams to take part in fixtures against other schools. Wednesday afternoons are timetabled for Sixth Form students to organise, set up and run sporting activities for the lower school with support from the PE department.
Service
Serving others is a key part of the Trinity ethos. Students in the Sixth Form will be supported to find service placements within the school and external communities. Already we have a number of students in the Sixth Form engaged in service. This includes leading clubs and teams, helping at a mother and toddler group at a local church and volunteering for local charities.
The Mayor visits Trinity's Creation Care 'Growing Hope' Garden. Wednesday 12th May.
Councillor Dr Merilyn Canet Sevenoaks Mayor visited Trinity's newly established 'Growing Hope' Garden which supports the Sevenoaks Town Council's 'Give it a Grow' initiative on Wednesday.
The Growing Hope Garden aims to educate students on climate change through growing organic vegetables as well as learn how climate change affects poorer nations. Our Creation Care Assistants and Zoological Assistants were keen to share their knowledge with The Mayor. The Growing Hope Garden is also part of Trinity's Service Programme and provides a quiet place for students and staff to appreciate the healing benefits of growing vegetables in the great outdoors!
