Rochester Grammar School (known as Rochester Grammar School for Girls until 2006) is a school for the education of girls between the ages of 11 and 18. It is a specialist college in music, maths and ICT and has academy status. Pupils are expected to perform highly throughout the school. It is now known as just "Rochester Grammar School" following the introduction of boys into the sixth form.
Rochester Grammar School is located on Rochester Maidstone Road, opposite the Sir Joseph Williamson's Mathematical School. Their sixth form is mixed but the rest of the school is single-sex. Last year's results moved them into the top 50 grammar schools in Kent. The school does sometimes take children who are under the age of eleven.
