St Lawrence College

Founded in 1879, the St Lawrence College 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. We welcome full boarding pupils from 7 to 18 years to our beautiful green campus. The school is within close walking distance of the beach and the royal harbour of Ramsgate, situated in South-East coast of England.

Boarding is central to the school’s life and a substantial 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 of university, including Oxbridge. St Lawrence College is a High Performance Learning World Class School, and was one of the initial 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 500-seat theatre. Our Canon Perfect Centre, opened in 2018, houses spacious rooms and state-of-the-art equipment for Science, Art, Design and Technology. Boarders can use all of the facilities on site in the evenings and weekends and benefit from an extensive extra-curricular activities programme.

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