About Trevor-Roberts School
School founder Christopher Trevor-Roberts
TREVOR-ROBERTS SCHOOL was founded by the late Christopher Trevor-Roberts and, after many years in the Vale of Health, moved to its present premises in Eton Avenue in 1981. The neighbouring house at No. 55 Eton Avenue was acquired in 1994, enabling the opening of the Junior Department in 1995.
Simon Trevor-Roberts, who has taught at the school since 1983, is Headmaster and Amanda Trevor-Roberts, his sister, is Head of the Junior Department.
Trevor-Roberts School is co-educational, taking boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 13 in preparation for examinations to independent schools.
The Junior Department takes children between the ages of 5 and 9 and it is expected that the majority of children continue into the Senior Department. Although the two departments are integrated in aims and spirit, children in the Junior Department have separate classrooms, play area and lunch room.
High success rates throughout the school are achieved through small classes and individual attention. Academic and social self-confidence and a sense of responsibility are built up in a happy atmosphere, geared to increasing motivation and encouraging pupils to fulfil their potential. Children are encouraged to work to the best of their ability and to find their own highest level of achievement.
Close liaison is maintained between the school and parents, and progress reports are sent home over the course of the year. Parents are advised on suitable schools for their children. The Heads of both departments are available to discuss any issue, either academic or personal, that arises during the course of the term.
