Sport at Rockfields

Every boy plays.
The talented ones go further.

More than fifteen sports, and every boy plays something. For the ones with real talent we are building the programme into a multi-sport academy, with proper coaching, exposure to competition outside Kenya and a route towards the professional game. Kenyan athletes, among them sprinter Ferdinand Omanyala, work with us to spot talent early.

Clubs, societies & service

a little taller.

With more than ten clubs and societies, every boy finds something beyond the classroom. Many join the St John Ambulance cadets and learn first aid, drill and how to look after other people. It gives a boy a kind of confidence that lasts.

Eagle RadioPilot episode coming soon

By the boys.
For everyone listening.

Eagle Radio is a podcast and campus radio run by the boys. They choose the topics, do the research, host the conversations and produce every episode. Along the way they learn to think clearly, speak well and handle a microphone.

The Locker RoomInside Rockfields sport: athletes, coaches, training and match-day stories.
Flight DeckAviation, science and how things work, with the people who build and fly them.
The PitchYoung entrepreneurs share their ideas, and Kenyan business builders share what they learned.

Boarding, done well.

The residences sit around shared gardens, with staff houses in between. Evening prep and lights out are kept by people who know each boy.
