Trinity Grammar School Preparatory School is a campus of Trinity Grammar School, which is used for the education of students from Pre-Kindergarten through to Year 6. While they serve to educate the same age group of boys, this is separate from Trinity Grammar School Junior School, which is found in Summer Hill, whereas the Preparatory School is based in Strathfield. The School is located on the corner of Llandilo Avenue and the Boulevard. The Preparatory School now houses over 600 students, which are kept together on the one campus, unlike the Junior School, which has its infants department in Lewisham and its primary facilities in Summer Hill. Unlike the other Trinity Grammar School campuses, boarders are not usually taught at the Preparatory School, as the Boarding House is located a short distance from the Junior School in Summer Hill. In the past, Lauriston was used as a separate boarding house for the Strathfield Campus.
The Preparatory School competes in several competitions run by the Independent Primary School Heads of Australia (IPSHA), which was previously known as the Junior School Heads' Association of Australia(JSHAA). The School selects a team for these based on school activities, such as Chess, Debating, Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country.
Sir Philip Sydney Jones was the original owner of the site on which the Preparatory School is now located. Upon his death, the area surrounding the house (including the house itself) was split into several areas which were then put up for auction. A small group of Strathfield residents first had the idea of using a portion of the grounds as a school, which became Strathfield Grammar School. It was offered to Trinity Grammar School in 1926, but the two schools remained separate entities until 1932, when they merged with each other. From 1932 until 1937, most, if not all, of the teaching was done in Strathfield, although the school still used the Summer Hill Campus for sport. However, in 1938 the Senior School returned to Summer Hill and the Strathfield Campus for the first time became the Preparatory School
