Rockport School

General information

The school office is responsible for all admissions enquiries, registration and entry procedures.​

Prospective pupils and their families are encouraged to visit the school as early as possible; we believe that this is the only way to fully appreciate the lovely grounds and excellent facilities, but also to understand the very happy and fulfilling all-round education provided at Rockport.​

A personal visit can be arranged through the School Office and Taster Days are available for prospective pupils with no obligation to register. We also hold a number of Open Days throughout the school year.

Rockport is a selective school and admission is based upon academic merit, however, our selection process is designed to also identify pupils who can benefit from our balanced and well-rounded education. A positive contribution towards the life of the school, rather than by narrow entrance exams alone, to us, is a more valuable requirement. A reference from a pupil’s current school will be requested.

A Registration Form will accompany the Prospectus and this should be completed and returned to the School Office along with the appropriate registration fee.​

An acceptance form will be issued to all registered families at the appropriate time in the year prior to admission. This will guarantee your child a place, subject to satisfying the relevant entrance requirements. On completion of this, a parent contract and appropriate deposit should be submitted. (Deposit is refundable on completion of the child’s education at Rockport.)

​International Students

We warmly welcome International students at Rockport School. The school can sponsor a child’s visa for the duration of their study at Rockport School if they are joining us from overseas, although we do not manage the visa application process.​ The Student route have been replaced the previous Tier 4 route.

The Student route, which falls under the UK's new points-based immigration system, improves on the previous Tier 4 route making for a more streamlined experience for both sponsoring institutions and students.

• Visas that have been issued through the Tier 4 route are still valid and those eligible will still be able to apply for the Graduate Route when it opens in summer.
• The Graduate Route will be available to international students who have completed a degree at undergraduate level or above at a Higher Education Provider with a track record of compliance and who have a valid Student (or Tier 4) visa at the time of application.
• More information about the UK’s new points-based immigration system can be found. Further guidance for EU, EEA and Swiss students, who from 1 January will need to comply with the new system can be found.
• EU, EEA and Swiss citizens resident in the UK before 31 December should apply to the EU settlement scheme.
