At King’s, we believe in preparing children for the 21st Century through educating the whole child. Our priority is ensuring that happy children perform to their best and the School is an exceptionally happy and friendly place where moral values, self-discipline, emotional intelligence and a Christian spirit underpin our family community.

Every step of the King’s School Rochester journey, from Nursery through to Sixth Form, is designed to help pupils flourish, grow in confidence and discover new passions. We believe that building a love of learning and developing independent thinking skills are just as important as achieving the best grades, and so our teachers help each pupil to realise their own potential.

There’s one motto we live by at King’s and that’s simply
“Work Hard, Play Hard and Look After Each Other”, no matter what age you are.

Oxbridge, Conservatoires and Careers: Class of 2025 shines

Satis Garden was once again filled with smiles as the Class of 2025 opened their A Level results and looked forward to their bright futures ahead. King’s is celebrating its strongest A Level results since 2018 with 83% of grades at A*-C, a performance we are particularly proud of as a non-selective school. 

Across the whole cohort, 12% of all grades were at A*, 25% at A*-A and 83% at A-C.

Our Grammar Stream* (representing the top 30% of the year group) achieved 36% of grades at A*, 69% at A*-A, 98% at A-B and 100% at A*-C. 

An education at King’s is much more than academic achievement and all our pupils are encouraged to be fully involved in the co-curricular opportunities available to them. This rounded education can also support their UCAS applications with qualifications such as the Extended Project Qualification and instrumental music exams contributing to the overall success. This year’s cohort achieved an average UCAS points total equivalent to ABB, while Grammar Stream pupils averaged the equivalent of over three A*s. These results reflect the school’s commitment to academic rigour balanced with a vibrant co-curricular life. 

Behind the statistics are exceptional individual achievements. Two pupils secured places at the University of Oxford (Classics) and the University of Cambridge (Modern and Medieval Languages), with others heading to prestigious universities including Imperial College, Durham, St Andrews, Edinburgh and Exeter. Offers ranged from Medicine and Veterinary Science to world-class conservatoires and arts institutions, including the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Bird Conservatoire, Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and University of the Arts London. Pathways beyond higher education include a highly competitive apprenticeship with Ernst & Young.
