A supportive, friendly UK day and boarding school.
Founded in 1984, Rochester Independent College is a unique day and boarding school, just 37 minutes from London. 70% of our students come from the UK with 30% coming from overseas. This provides our boarding community with both a British ethos and an international flavour in which our students live in comfortable on-site accommodation.
Our focus is on examination success in a lively, supportive and informal atmosphere in which students live and study as young adults and which prepares them well for university life. There is no uniform, no bells ring, staff and students are on first name terms and no class is above eight in number. We encourage our students to voice their opinions and to think critically, creatively and independently. They leave us with excellent examination results, enthusiasm for the future and confidence in themselves and their education.
Rochester has been ranked in the top 2% in England for progress at A Level in government league tables and won the ISA award for excellence and innovation in Fine Arts in 2021.
