Now in its fourth decade, Rockbrook has seen a generation of young people pass through its doors. They come as boys and leave as men, many of them now making valuable contributions in today’s world because of their integrity as persons. Rockbrook has helped foster that integrity, working with parents as primary educators and key partners in the education of their children.

Now it is time for Rockbrook itself to move forward into a new generation. A key component and a catalyst in this move is the recent granting of planning permission for phase 1 of the school development. For many years the school has floundered due to pressures on space and to an inability to meet the demands of local planners. Finally, in February 2006 the school has been granted permission to construct a new classroom block, together with canteen, general purpose area, science laboratory, art room and chapel on a site behind the existing Georgian building and courtyard. It is planned that work will commence this summer for completion by summer 2007.

This work will require the support of past pupils as well present school families for it to succeed. For years the school has concentrated on the ‘personal’ element of education, the aim for this year is to improve the context in which that education takes place.

As a past or present member of the school community, we would appreciate your help in taking this important generational step forward.
