Rochester Independent College

Rochester Independent College is a co-educational day and boarding school in Kent. From Year 7 to 6th form, it combines academic rigour with a creative buzz. There's no uniform and students and staff are on first name terms. Accepting day students from the age of 11 and boarders from 15, the average class size is 8.

Students enjoy being here and are treated as young adults. Our teachers have masses of expertise and experience and really get teenagers. It’s a place for individuals and a real alternative to traditional schools.

We encourage our students to voice their opinions, to think critically, creatively and independently. They leave not only with excellent examination results but with enthusiasm for the future and new confidence about themselves and their education.
