One of the most significant and important decisions you will make in life is choosing the right school for your child. It is a decision that will not only shape their development but also the type of person they will become in later life. When making this choice, you want the very best for your child and we want that too. You want to provide them with an environment where they can be stretched, challenged and nurtured and find their individual spark. You also want them to be happy, safe and nurtured and to have the platform where they can grow into a healthy, confident and compassionate young adult. The greatest gift we give each child is a passion for learning and a real curiosity about the world around them. At Duke of Kent School near Guildford in Surrey, we all care deeply about educating the whole child. I am very proud of the incredible teaching staff who recognise the individuality and strengths of each of our pupils and challenge them to be the best they can be, whilst allowing them the freedom to be exactly who they want to be. As well as the best possible academic learning environment, the breadth of the music, drama, creative arts and sports opportunities set us apart. Our after school activities programme is also designed to give the students opportunities to develop new passions and talents. We are a thriving independent school from Nursery to GCSE and our pupils leave our care as happy, independent, rounded, grounded individuals with many joyful memories, and a desire to go out into the world and make a difference. That is my very definition of a successful school. Please do come and visit us and discover this wonderful School for yourself.

Gad's Hill School

gad's hill school

Welcome to Gad's Hill School, a stellar independent day school based in Rochester, Kent. From nursery right through to Senior School, we offer the best choices for our students.Gad’s Hill School is set in the expansive and beautiful grounds of the former family home of Charles Dickens, in the village of Higham, just on the outskirts of Rochester, Kent. Our independent day school is a wonderfully happy and vibrant school, educating girls and boys aged 3-16 years in the Lower and Upper Schools. The site boasts modern facilities, courtesy of its main building, including theatre, refectory and sports hall, opened in 2013, while also retaining the famous literary heritage of the 18th Century Grade I Listed Gad’s Hill Place, and many of the traditions established since its foundation as a school in 1924. Higham is an area that is rich in culture and history and enjoys a spectacular setting between the North Downs, the Medway Towns and the River Thames. Cathedrals, castles, beaches and historic cities and towns such as Rochester with its Norman legacy and Chatham with its ancient Royal Dockyard are on our doorstep, and we make the most of our surroundings to enrich the educational experience of all our pupils. Childhood is celebrated every day at Gad’s Hill School and high academic expectations, together with outstanding pastoral care and exceptional drama, music and sports facilities and provision, make the school a wonderful place to be educated. Academically, Gad’s Hill enjoys the reputation of receiving excellent GCSE results year-on-year, and yet pupils also enjoy our on-site Forest School, Combined Cadet Force, productions, concerts and much more. We believe our success is largely down to the fact that we are a small school. Pupils are taught in classes of no more than 20 and benefit from a friendly and purposeful learning environment, where teachers know and cater for each child as an individual across an exciting and engaging curriculum. We are different from other schools and are rightly proud of this. We stand for traditional values, self-respect, self-discipline and have a strong sense of friendship, family and community spirit. Our parents believe in and support the school by sharing and committing to our values.
