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.”
