St Lawrence was founded in 1879 and incorporated in 1892.
It aims to:
- provide an academic, orderly, active, caring and Christianly-conscious community; small enough to establish 'family' ties and large enough to stimulate high achievement.
- develop a balanced sense of confidence, a spirit of service, a healthy curiosity for the contemporary world and a sensitivity for the best in our heritage.
- give opportunities to appreciate excellence and sound judgement, initiative and integrity, tolerance and courtesy.
- permit a continuity of education from 3 to 18 years for boys and girls, day and boarding.
The Prep School and Senior School are on the same 160 acre Campus. Amost all pupils go on to university. Most recent developments have extended European Language Learning in a Europe 2000 Project and provided for all pupils extensive opportunities in Information Technology and Design Technology.
A full-size Astroturf hockey pitch was installed in October 1995.
