Building Confidence Beyond Academics

We are proudly known as a school that offers a warm and nurturing environment; a community where respect, integrity and kindness are valued equally with academic accomplishment. From Preschool and Prep School through to Tranby Sixth Form College, life at Tranby is about more than passing examinations and teaches the student that their worth as a human being is not measured simply in academic success. It gives them the confidence to take risks, tackle challenges head on, and have the confidence to re-write the story if things do not go according to plan.

Unlocking Each Individual's Potential

As we are an independent school, we have the time and resource to pour into our students, giving them the best in terms of both education and pastoral care.

We know each student individually and understand that 'one size does not fit all', tailoring our approach to learning and discipline to each individual.
But that's not all an independent education at Tranby, offers. Find out more in our blog: Unlocking Potential: The Beneftits of Independent Education

We value each child’s unique qualities. We’ll help them build on their strengths, grow in confidence, and feel seen for who they truly are, not as a potential grade, but as a young person full of potential.

At Tranby, your child will never feel like a number. We take the time to discover what excites them, what drives them, and where their talents lie, because that’s how true excellence emerges.

As the quote goes:

"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid."

No child at Tranby will ever feel like a fish out of water.

In addition to our dedication to bringing out the best in everyone, we offer outstanding value, with lower fees than other independent schools in Hull and Yorkshire, with high-quality lunches included. 

Our stunning location at Tranby Croft offers a safe, peaceful environment with clean air and open space, allowing students to thrive both academically and personally. We celebrate every child’s uniqueness, ensuring they receive personalised support to nurture their talents and ambitions. Most importantly, we maximise outcomes - helping students achieve far beyond expectations, with outstanding progress that sets them up for success in life.

Unrivalled Value for Money Locally

We offer the best value for independent education in Hull and Yorkshire. Our fees are lower than all other independent schools in the region because we have worked hard to absorb some of the pressures of VAT on school fees and keep our costs as low as possible for our valued families. We also include high-quality, nutritious lunches in our fees, ensuring you avoid hidden costs.

 

An Awe-Inspiring Location Like No Other Locally

Set amongst the historic grounds of Tranby Croft, our school is surrounded by acres of stunning green space in the heart of the West Hull villages. Tranby offers a peaceful, safe, and inspiring environment where students can focus on learning and personal growth without contending with congestion, pollution, or noise.

Our unique location also allows us to take learning beyond the classroom, incorporating outdoor education into our curriculum to enhance student wellbeing, encourage curiosity, and make the most of our beautiful setting. With clean air, open space, and a secure environment, Tranby provides the best possible atmosphere for young people to thrive.

A School That Values Your Child’s Uniqueness

At Tranby, every student is recognised, supported, and celebrated for who they are. We believe education is not just about academic achievement but about developing confident, well-rounded individuals with the skills to succeed in life. Our small class sizes ensure that each student receives personalised attention from dedicated teachers who truly know and care about them. It's one of the reasons that our 2024 Sixth Form College cohort achieved a 100% acceptance rate into their chosen universities with 96% securing their first choice and the remaining 4%, their second choice.

Whether a child excels in academics, sport, music, drama, or leadership, we nurture their talents, encourage ambition, and support their journey to becoming the best version of themselves.

At Tranby, we are committed to maximising the potential of every student, ensuring they achieve results beyond their own expectations. Our small class sizes, tailored teaching, and exceptional pastoral support create an environment where every child is challenged, motivated, and supported to excel.
While some schools focus solely on exam outcomes, we pride ourselves on the individual success stories of our students. Many leave Tranby having achieved grades that exceed expectations, setting them up for university, apprenticeships, and careers with the confidence and skills to thrive.
By understanding each student’s strengths and areas for development, we provide bespoke academic and personal support, helping them achieve results they might not have thought possible. Whether it’s securing top GCSE and A Level grades, outperforming predicted results, or growing into a well-rounded, ambitious young adults, Tranby ensures that every student leaves us with the very best foundation for their future.
