Founded in 1879, St Lawrence College is a thriving co-educational day and boarding school, providing a first class education. We are renowned for our excellent academic results, outstanding pastoral care and exceptional extra-curricular offering.

Exceptional opportunities

Academic standards are high and we welcome pupils from a broad ability range, valuing a wide range of talents. A combination of dedicated teachers, a broad and challenging curriculum, strong work ethic and focus on core educational skills combine to create an inspiring, stimulating and purposeful learning experience for our pupils. This is underpinned by High Performance Learning; an understanding that intelligence is not fixed and that high performance education is achievable by all. We are proud to be one of the first schools globally to have been granted the status of a World Class High Performance Learning School.

Our Sports Excellence Programme caters for our national and international level athletes and this, combined with a number of current and ex-international sports coaches, has helped us guide our teams to a number of national championship finals. There are a vast range of opportunities for pupils to immerse themselves in the Creative Arts both academically and as part of their co-curricular options. This consists of Drama, Music, Dance, LAMDA and Art partnered with excellent facilities to allow pupils to maximise their full potential in their chosen areas. The School takes pride in hosting spectacular arts productions with multiple showcases per term.

All pupils benefit from an extensive activities programme which in the Senior School includes the Combined Cadet Force and a thriving Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme.

Supportive environment

There is an emphasis on pastoral care with round-the-clock support from housemasters and housemistresses, the chaplain and tutors. The school is a home-from-home, with a warm and friendly feel. Every child is given the confidence to find their identity on a personal journey of discovery.

Boarding at St Lawrence

Our 'boarding family' starts from age 7 upwards and boarders make up around one third of pupils with over 30 nationalities represented in our community. With three boarding houses, offering exceptional pastoral care, academic support and access to extra-curricular activities, it's no surprise that we won best Boarding & Day School - South East England in the Private Education Awards 2024.
