Rose Hill School featured in Tatler’s Schools Guide 2014
Rose Hill School has made it – for the third year running – into the Tatler Good Schools Guide, featuring the top Prep and Public schools in the UK.
A team of researchers from Tatler has spent the past 12 months travelling up and down the country, grilling parents, staff and pupils, examining new science labs and peering behind the bike sheds (literally as well as metaphorically), to find the best schools in the country.
The guide is designed to be an indispensable tool in parents’ hunt for a new school, but it’s also a celebration of the top independent schools.
Here’s what they had to say about Rose Hill:
“A brilliant school”, says our notoriously hard-to-please researcher. “I would be thrilled to send my own children there.” Head David Westcombe has a very clear vision of Rose Hill’s position in the marketplace. It’s a day school that prepares pupils for the Kent grammar schools at 11+, as well as Common Entrance – scholarships to Tonbridge, Eastbourne and Ardingly, among others. Aesthetically the school is nothing to shout about, but the facilities for sport, science, art and drama are nothing short of fabulous. Pupils shine at hockey, cross country and athletics. We liked the air of industry and the confident, well-turned-out children. The schools co-ordinator at the British Museum said Rose Hill was “the best behaved school he’d ever had at the museum.”

Immersive Learning, Focus Day 4
11 March 2022
Focus Days are an integral part of our teaching curriculum, not in addition to it, and allow for us to half a term#s work to be completed in one day.
World Book Day
04 March 2022
It’s been a busy week full of book related fun. To kick off Book Week The Library hosted a Book Hunt for the Prep School on Monday which saw the children hunting high and low for a selection of titles. On Tuesday it was Pre Prep’s turn as they took to the Astro to hunt for favourite book characters—I’m glad to say the glum weather did not dampen their high spirits! Prep School have been designing bookmarks during their library sessions with some fantastic designs created by our artistic pupils.
