The Pre-Preparatory School is an integral part of King's School, Rochester (HMC, IAPS and CSA).
The King's School was founded in AD604 by St. Justus to provide a Christian education for the sons of Saxons. Now in the late 20th Century, nestling as it does in the shadow of the Cathedral, it is able to give an all round education for boys and girls from the age of 3-18.
The Pre-Preparatory School was opened in September 1988 and now has nine classes of boys and girls under the guidance of qualified teachers, with six assistants and with its own Headmistress.
The School is based at Rookwood and St. Ronan's, lovely Edwardian houses in King Edward road, which overlook the Paddock which is one of the School's playing fields. The bright classrooms are well equipped to meet the needs of the all important early years of education. The children learn in a well disciplined but friendly atmosphere. To emphasise the importance to the school of the Christian faith the day begins with a religious assembly.
The School is a day school which operates from Monday to Friday and its terms are the same length as those of the other parts of the School.
The Pre-Preparatory School is fortunate in that it is able to avail itself of all facilities provided by the King's School where music, art, DT, drama and sport flourish. All children now receive regular oral German lesson under the School's European Initiative.
Admission to the Pre-Preparatory School, which is at present full and has a waiting list, is by interview and academic test in the Spring preceeding the year of entry.
