St Lawrence College has a rich history and a reputation for excellence. The genuine feeling of community is tangible and there is no doubt that the Christian values, boarding ethos, all-through nature of the school and focus on the individual contribute to a feeling of care and compassion that permeates every corner of the campus. It is my honour and privilege to be leading such an outstanding school.
Welcome From the Head of the College
“Since starting here, I have become better at speaking English, have developed more in Art and have achieved a good effort in Games – I am hoping to join the school badminton team.”
"My school is wonderful and I would recommend it to others who feel like they need the opportunity to spread their wings a little more”
“From the very first day I discovered many new opportunities. For example, I played paintball with the teachers and swam in the house swimming competition. And, even after one year at St Lawrence, I can’t say I’ve tried everything that this school offers! “
"You very easily and quickly get into a daily routine and make close friends. It´s been a lot of fun being at St Lawrence. Joining this school has been one of the best decisions of my life."
“My children have continued through their school years with respect for others, understanding of different cultures, the ability to hold conversations with different peer groups and with adults.”
"Sam lights up when he tells us what he has been up to at the School and the regular exeat weekends mean that as parents we never feel far away"
“All of the Staff in the Junior School are magnificent. The self-confidence and happiness my daughter has gained since starting at St Lawrence College has been wonderful to see.”
"When I look back on my time at school, it is clear that St Lawrence was always very grounded and realistic. St Lawrence produced the Head of the Army and the Head of the Police and that, in many ways, says something about the benefits of a St Lawrence education."
"For me, being at St Lawrence wasn’t just about receiving an academic education, although the aim was to leave with at least a couple of A-levels! We were also educated in essential life skills, either absorbed by the environment or learned in our extra-curricular activities. Basic manners were an expectation; holding the door for someone, being respectful to the teachers, obeying the rule to not walk on Chapel Green and in doing this you learned to be respectful and conscientious towards others."
"I loved the creative aspects of my time at SLC. I was involved in some of the performances and productions such as; the House talent shows, the SLC Ale festivals, various productions and musicals."
"When I look back over my life to date, I can see that St Lawrence College has always played a part in some way. When I started at the Junior School, my father and grandfather were already teaching there. My uncle and sister have been there too. The activities at the School had the biggest impact on me as I got to try so many different things. CCF had a particularly big influence on me. I loved adventurous activities, sport, being outdoors and problem solving."

🐝🌍 Happy World Bee Day 2024! 🌍🐝
Today, we celebrate the essential role of bees in our environment and food security. As Mr Oliver Cackett of St Lawrence College says:
"Beekeeping at St Lawrence College allows pupils to try something totally different, enhances biodiversity awareness, and supports local ecosystems. It provides hands-on learning about biology, agriculture, and sustainability, while promoting conservation efforts."
Join us in protecting bees from threats like pesticides, diseases, and climate change. Together, we can ensure a thriving future for bees and ourselves.

At St Lawrence College we have a busy and thriving boarding community with over 170 full boarders. We benefit from a six day week with Saturday School running until lunchtime, and a full afternoon of sports fixtures and activities.
We have five Optional Exeats over our academic year, when our boarders may either head home, stay with Guardians or stay at School for the weekend to enjoy a range of exciting trips.
Our Weekend Activities Progamme is jam packed during our Optional Exeats and so far in 2024 boarders have enjoyed paintballing at Quex Park and a trip to the London Dungeons. With such a packed programme, it really is no wonder that typically around 100 of our boarders choose to stay at School.
This weekend our boarders went on a thrill-seeking trip to Thorpe Park. Read the full news story here: rpb.li/jCWX0
