St Lawrence College

Founded in 1879, we pride ourselves in providing a first-class education both inside and outside the classroom. A traditional boarding school with a modern outlook offering a wealth of opportunities, from exemplary pastoral care, a dynamic extra-curricular programme to a nurturing, supportive community. Located on the Kent coast - only 75 minutes to central London by train and within easy reach of Heathrow and Gatwick.

Boarding is central to school life here at St Lawrence and one of our greatest strengths. Offering a ‘home-from-home’ full boarding experience, all our boarding rooms are en-suite. • Exeat weekends are optional for Boarders, • 6 day week school (with Saturday School) • Campus based school, which is safe and secure.

St Lawrence is very proud to be one of the founding schools globally to have been granted the status of a World Class High Performance Learning School and yet we offer the diversity and support all children should experience throughout their education.  Founded on a Christian ethos and strong community values we guide and support our pupils throughout their time here. 

Sporting facilities are exceptional, and expert coaching is provided at all levels in a variety of disciplines including hockey, rugby, netball and cricket. The sports centre houses a fitness suite, squash courts, climbing wall, dance studio and large sports hall for badminton, basketball, etc. Alongside the traditional chapel, library and dining hall sits a modern coffee shop, and boarders are able to use all the school’s facilities in the evenings and at weekends.
