Trinity College London is a leading international examinations board with a difference. Our reputation rests on our continuing ability to provide respected qualifications both in the English language and across a growing range of disciplines in the performing arts. But what sets us apart is our focus on the learner, every learner. Our exams and assessments are designed to help students and trainees progress; to mark an achievement at each stage of their development, and at all levels of competence, on a journey towards fulfilment of their own individual talents and abilities.
Trinity Guildhall we focus on the performing arts in music and drama, and now deliver an enhanced range of syllabuses and local services to teachers, tailored to allow flexible styles of learning and teaching. We emphasise overall performance rather than a prescriptive formula.
Trinity has many college societies. Its rowing club is the First and Third Trinity Boat Club. Trinity’s May Ball, named after the Boat Club, is one of the largest of Cambridge’s May Balls. Trinity also has the oldest mathematical university society in the United Kingdom, the Trinity Mathematical Society.
The college was founded by Henry VIII in 1546, from the merger of two existing colleges: Michaelhouse (founded by Hervey de Stanton in 1324), and King’s Hall (established by Edward II in 1317 and refounded by Edward III in 1337). At the time, Henry had been wiping out and seizing church lands from abbeys and monasteries. The universities of Oxford and Cambridge, being both religious institutions and quite rich, expected to be next in line.
