About Ripplevale School - Rochester
Trinity School, Rochester is an independent day school specialises in the teaching of dyslexic, dyspraxic and language-impaired children aged 6 to 16 years old.
Set in a Georgian town house near the historic heart of Rochester, Kent, Trinity School was established in 1998. The school aims to combine a positive, supportive environment with an educational curriculum which has been specifically designed for children with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Specific Learning and Language Difficulties.
Our school also specialises in:
- Integrated, whole-school approach to learning
- Multi-sensory, structured and cumulative methods of teaching
- Flexible approach meets children’s needs, at their own pace
- Positive and thriving atmosphere
- Calm and supportive environment
- Small class sizes ensures each child receives the teacher’s attention
- Track-record of success 6 to 16 years
- Nationally recognised, vocational qualifications offered at an appropriate level

The school’s approach to learning is also appropriate for children such as those with Asperger’s Syndrome, who might benefit from the small classes and calm, structured and supportive atmosphere. The objective is to break the cycle of failure and frustration so often encountered and to help our pupils acquire essential skills and knowledge, confidence and self-esteem. For simplicity, we use the term ‘Dyslexia’ or ‘Specific Learning Difficulties’ (SpLD) throughout the web site.
