Trent College is a co-educational private boarding and day school located in Long Eaton, Derbyshire, between Nottingham and Derby. Founded in 1868 as a local 'middle class alternative' to the more famous public schools, it is now a coeducational school and a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.

It has over 1,000 pupils, including 760 pupils in the Senior School and 330 pupils in the Junior School (The Elms School).[citation needed]

On 28 March 2014, the governors announced that Bill Penty would be taking over as Head from September 2014 onward.[citation needed]
