Here at St Lawrence College we have a large boarding community (around 40% of students are boarders) so students have plenty of opportunity to make friends and keep busy. With over 30% of boarders coming from Europe, Africa and Asia, the school offers a fantastic environment for international students to improve their English skills and settle into the UK education system with confidence.
Eleanor Matthews, Assistant Head (Pastoral) at St Lawrence College, says:
"Boarding is like a mini preparation for university, when you`ll be away from home and developing new friendships, but here you are able to develop the skills needed in a really lovely, supportive and safe environment."
"Rising university dropout rates highlight the importance of sixth form boarding, which can help students in making well-informed decisions about their university choices and where they will live for the next three years. The boarding experience helps students to determine where they will thrive and in which community they will flourish.
"In our boarding environment, students acquire essential skills that not only prepare them for university but give them the confidence and courage to move into the world of work too."
If you are interested in boarding with us at St Lawrence College please email admissions@slcuk.com to go through all your options.

At St Lawrence College we are a leading all-through non-selective school in Kent with a large overseas boarding community. As a school, we follow the High Performance Learning framework, which recognises that every student can be a high performer.
Head of College, Barney Durrant, explains how HPL has helped to improve A Level results in the school.
“We value a well-rounded education that seeks to develop individuals rather than producing identical outcomes, and prioritise holistic growth over exam-focused learning.”
“The school believes in the idea that everyone can achieve high performance through hard work and a growth mindset. It`s not about labelling students or limiting their potential based on initial abilities. Instead, the focus is on continuous improvement and deliberate practice to develop specific skills, and this approach is evident throughout the school and is not limited to any particular year group.”
If you are interested in learning more about our High Performance Learning framework please email admissions@slcuk.com to organise a private tour or learn more about St Lawrence College.

Let’s reflect on the advantages for overseas students in moving to a UK boarding school. Expat hubs have excellent education options, so is there really a need to send children to St Lawrence College?
Barney Durrant, Head of College at St Lawrence College, says: “There is no substitute for the genuinely holistic education that you find in the UK, and the genuine emphasis here on being involved in sport, debating, art, music, and drama. There is a long tradition of the full boarding experience with a broad programme of activities in the evenings and weekends, extra-curriculars and Saturday school.”
While there is a perception that some UK schools can be elitist, Mr Durrant explains how St Lawrence College is providing a well-rounded education that prepares students for the real world.
“A UK boarding school can give children an understanding of their place in local society and the global community. This comes from the many charity and service opportunities we offer, as well as from living in a boarding house with a diverse student population (we`ve got 25 different nationalities here), which instils an understanding of tolerance and cultural difference.”
