King's School Rochester Junior School
School summary
Linked to Rochester Cathedral, this small independent junior school weaves a Church of England character into daily life, including choristerships for musically gifted children. With around 361 pupils and a pupil-to-teacher ratio of roughly nine to one, classes are kept small enough for individual attention. The school is mixed and offers boarding alongside day places, making it suited to families seeking either flexibility or a more immersive school experience. It is led by Vice Principal of the junior school, Mrs Kellie Crozer.
Where every mark matters.
Places are limited and demand is high, so exam performance is what sets candidates apart. Passmate turns the months ahead into ten focused minutes a day on the exact topics this school tests.

Teaching & academics
A pupil-to-teacher ratio of about nine to one is notably generous and points to close, individual support across year groups. Inspected by the ISI, the school offers a broad range of scholarships - academic, sport, drama, art and music - which gives able and committed children clear routes to recognition.

Beyond the classroom
The breadth of scholarship areas signals a school that takes sport, drama, art and music seriously alongside academics. Cathedral choristerships in particular offer a distinctive musical pathway rooted in the school's Christian foundation.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, Cathedral-linked junior school with boarding on offer and small classes throughout. Its wide scholarship programme rewards children who thrive academically, musically or on the stage and pitch.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
