About this Event
Year 7 Taster Day at Rochester Independent College
Come along to our fun and educational taster day
Thursday 29th January 2026 10am - 3pm
This is an opportunity for families with children in year 5 or 6 to experience a typical day at our Lower School . Visiting children will attend a mixture of academic and creative lessons in a very small group as well as staying for lunch. We hope that this experience will give prospective year 7 students an insight into what it is like to be a student in the Lower School at RIC.
At the end of the event parents are very welcome to stay for a coffee and an informal chat with the Lower School team.
Take a virtual tour around the school before the event.
• Academically non-selective. There are no school entrance tests.
* High performing, RIC’s exam results regularly match or exceed those of highly selective schools.
* Small classes with lots of individual attention (average 8, maximum 12).
* No school uniform. A friendly, inclusive atmosphere.
* Academic and creative. Emphasis is firmly on core subjects but with an unusually wide variety of creative arts subjects.
"The students are a strikingly nice bunch. It’s a place for individuals, and there’s a lovely air of tolerance and warmth." Good Schools Guide
“At Rochester it’s really easy to fit in and make friends. People come from so many different backgrounds and there aren’t the same pressures to conform. I’ve never been so happy at school.” RIC student
