The Roche School Alumni

Establishment in West Kensington. The focus on “thorough teaching in a homely environment” was popular with families, and led the tutorial school to grow to three classes in two years. Pupils achieved excellent results including scholarships to top schools like Westminster, Wycombe Abbey and St Paul’s, whilst having lots of fun with language lessons and sports and cultural outings organised by Mrs Roche. In 1988, the move was made to the current Wandsworth location and the school officially became The Roche School. This was when Dr Roche joined the team, bringing with him a love of Maths and Science. He was followed not long after by some of our longest standing staff like Mrs Clark, Mrs Gabriella and even Headteacher Mrs Adams! In the style of a genuinely family-owned organisation, Dr and Mrs Roche’s daughters have often acted as school mascots; as a baby, Sophie Roche appeared in plays and joined Mrs Roche on school visits, and Sarah Roche has been a member of the school orchestra for many years. Our alumni continue to show their allegiance to The Roche School: several current staff were at school here, former pupils love to come back for their gap years, and some ex-pupils have even sent their children to us!
