Visual arts
Top boarding school for the visual arts
The College has an unusually broad range of arts subjects available at GCSE and A level including Photography, Digital Media, Film Studies, Graphic Design and Textiles as well as traditional Fine Art.
The judges were impressed with the huge range of ways in which Rochester Independent College values, promotes and gives profile to the arts and considered the College an inspiration to the whole sector. The link between an aesthetic appreciation of the visual arts and personal development runs through all aspects of school life and is highly valued by the whole school community.
