St Andrew's in Rochester, Kent, is a co-educational non-selective school for children from 3 to 11.

It was founded in 1951 with clear and simple aims:
to offer an affordable education with the emphasis on the 'three Rs' - reading, writing and arithmetic
- and to promote traditional values.

Under the proprietorship of Education Development Trust, which acquired the school in 1999, St. Andrew's has flourished and has held dear its values - even though society may have changed around it.

The school is renowned for its excellent pastoral careand its unfailing and outstanding success in placing pupils at prestigious grammar schools.
