St Lawrence College

We welcome full boarding pupils from 7 to 18 years to our beautiful site within easy walking distance of the seaside town of Ramsgate in South-East England.

Founded in 1879, the school is home to 650 pupils from all over the world and has a real family atmosphere, with a strong sense of community based on Christian foundations. Boarding is central to the school’s life and a massive programme of investment has created some truly remarkable facilities for our boarders, with all rooms en-suite. Academic standards are high, and an extensive choice of GCSEs and A-levels are offered, with an excellent success rate of pupils going on to their first choice university, including Oxbridge.

In 2019 St Lawrence College became Kent’s only High Performance Learning World Class School, and one of only 14 schools globally to achieve this coveted accolade. Sporting facilities are exceptional and include a magnificent Sports Centre and an Olympic standard hockey pitch. Music and drama flourish, enhanced by the school’s own theatre. Boarders can use all of the facilities in the evenings and at weekends and benefit from an extensive extra-curricular activities programme.

The school runs its own airport transfer service to Gatwick and Heathrow. London is only 75 minutes away via direct high speed train from Ramsgate to London St Pancras International.
