Happy Easter from St Lawrence College.
Today offers a moment to pause and reflect on the message of hope and renewal at the heart of the season. A time to look ahead with a sense of new beginnings and quiet reflection.
Wishing all members of our community a happy and peaceful Easter.

Many parents describe St Lawrence College as more than a school.
It is a community, a place where children are known as individuals, supported in their development, and encouraged to grow in confidence from their very first day.
It is not just somewhere pupils come each day, but somewhere they feel part of something, build lasting friendships, and develop the confidence to thrive.
If you are looking for something more for your child, we would be delighted to welcome you to our Junior School Open House on 24th April.

Our Pre-Prep pupils took on their Mini Marathon this week, making the most of the beautiful spring weather.
Each year group completed their run with plenty of encouragement from across Pre-Prep, while our Year 6 pupils supported along the route, helping and motivating every step of the way. It was a lovely example of the close-knit and nurturing environment across the school.
A great effort from all involved and a fantastic atmosphere throughout. 🏃♂️

We are delighted to share that we have been awarded the Silver Kent Wilder Award, recognising the school’s commitment to protecting and enhancing the natural environment.
This achievement reflects the collective effort of pupils and staff who have taken part in initiatives such as tree planting, creating wildlife habitats, increasing biodiversity, reducing waste and caring for our local surroundings. These actions are helping to create a greener, healthier space across the school and beyond.
The award celebrates what can be achieved when a community works together with a shared sense of responsibility for the environment and the world around us. 🌿

As was recently announced in the Press and to interested parties associated with the School, the Governors of St Lawrence College have been engaging in detailed discussions to prepare for a merger between St Lawrence College and Dover College. This has been under the overall control and management of the Repton Schools Group. The announcement of these plans was triggered by the necessity to address the financial viability and continuity of the College following the severe effect of financial pressures caused by falling pupil numbers, the imposition of VAT on fees, the removal of the exemption from business rates and the effect of Covid.
The Governors, in the light of the significant, clear and voluble reaction around the School community, both past and present, and in the light of matters that have become apparent since these discussions began, have reflected on and reconsidered the options open to the College for its future. The engagement between Repton Schools and Dover College has therefore been halted with immediate effect. This is in order to be able to reconsider the options open to St Lawrence College for guaranteeing its future as a Christian based, independent Junior and Senior School serving the community of Thanet as well as its wider worldwide catchment area.
The whole family of Lawrentians, past and present are keen to preserve both the ethos and longevity of the College and the Governors will ensure that revised plans are announced to all interested parties as soon as is practicable. The Governors and Senior Leadership Team of the College are very aware of the considerable disquiet that has arisen since the first announcement, but they look forward to the support of the wider Lawrentian community when further announcements can be made. The Governors will publicise more detailed plans for the next months and years as these are developed. In the meantime, their intention is that the remainder of this academic year will progress as usual with a focus on stability and support for our most valuable asset, namely our students in both schools, Junior and Senior, and for all the staff who care for them.
At our half term holiday camp, children marked Lunar New Year with a calligraphy and ink blowing workshop, exploring traditional techniques and creating their own designs inspired by the celebration. It was a hands-on way to learn more about the meaning and artistry behind this special time of year.
We would also like to wish all of our families who are celebrating a very Happy Lunar New Year. May the year ahead bring health and good fortune. 🧧
