About King's School Rochester

King’s is a truly remarkable school, and we know that every pupil who has been part of the King’s family has their own story of achievement, challenge, and adventure, and would be proud to tell it.

Founded in 604 AD, we draw on our rich history and ancient traditions, which provide a solid foundation for our modern and forward-looking vision of education in the 21st century. Buildings, mentioned in the pages of Dickens, open their doors to reveal interactive classrooms, innovative study spaces and comfortable living and socialising spaces. This is where freedom of thought and independent thinking are nurtured, where skills for life are acquired and where traditional values of good behaviour, respect for others and lifelong friendships are developed.

As the world’s second-oldest school, our heritage and history inspire us every day as pupils walk between lessons under the shadow of Rochester Cathedral, which we are privileged to use as our Chapel. Weekly services are held here for the Preparatory and Senior Schools, and we are fortunate to have many of our musical and choral events within its Norman walls.

Our academic results are excellent at all levels. Still, we believe that building a love of learning and developing independent thinking skills is just as important as achieving the best grades. Our class sizes are kept small, allowing teachers to know their pupils as individuals and tailor their school experience to ensure they reach their full potential. Each pupil is valued for who they are, and each young person in our care is challenged, stretched and supported to shine.

Visitors to King’s often comment on the wonderfully unique relationship between our staff and pupils, as well as among the pupils themselves. It is a happy and friendly place where moral values, self-discipline, emotional intelligence and a Christian spirit underpin our family community. King’s is a school where all are cared for as individuals and where links between home and school are a real strength.

Pupils are encouraged to discover and explore new ideas, both inside and outside the classroom, igniting passions for interests and hobbies they may not have previously tried or even heard of. Our extensive co-curricular programme throughout the school offers excellent opportunities in Music, Sport, Art and Design and Drama (including LAMDA), along with outdoor pursuits through the Combined Cadet Force and the Duke of Edinburgh Award.

At the end of their time at King’s, our pupils leave as fully rounded young adults who go on to thrive and flourish in whichever path they choose. Many Sixth Formers from King’s go on to secure places at an impressive range of Higher Education establishments (from Oxbridge to Russell Group universities, Conservatoires to top Drama Colleges, Agricultural Colleges to Engineering apprenticeships) where they follow their dreams and obtain the broadest possible spectrum of degrees and vocational qualifications.

Whatever their talents and strengths and wherever they need additional support to reach their potential, King’s is proud of every young person within its care and of being able to help them to achieve their goals.
