The Thomas Aveling School is a very successful non-selective mixed school; we are a happy school, a school for all abilities and a school for the local community of Rochester.

​

We create a culture of high expectations and success for all students and staff.  This is grounded in a supportive ethos where each student is treated as an individual, with their needs and ambitions supported by a great pastoral and children’s team.  A student’s well-being is of equal importance to their academic progress, the support we offer is outstanding.

​

As well as supporting students of all abilities to make fantastic academic progress, Thomas Aveling provides an excellent all round education valuing Music, Drama, Sport and the Arts highly with exceptional facilities – we regard these subjects as providing the soul of the school and give students additional opportunities to excel.  The standard of teaching at the school ensures strong progress is seen in the core subjects of English, Maths and Science without affecting the time given to creative and practical subjects - students enjoy the full breadth of experiences.

​

As a previously designated teacher training school we are fully invested in the professional development of our staff. Our dedicated teachers/mentors give the very best of training experiences to all of our trainees and ECTs. We have a strong and successful relationship with our main ITT  providers, Teach in Kent and KMT and continue to work together in order to generate excellent practitioners. We successfully train an abundance of teachers every academic year,  many are subsequently employed within The Thomas Aveling School, or the Beyond Schools Trust

​

Everything we do as a school is grounded in our 5 Student Virtues – the characteristics we want to develop in all our students – Ambition, Resilience, Respect, Pride and Creativity.  Students are given a massive range of opportunities in and out of the classroom to develop these virtues.

​

Our website can only ever give you a flavour of what Thomas Aveling has to offer, please do come, and visit us at one of our Open Events to meet our fantastic students and amazing and dedicated staff.
