EDUCATION

IN ASSOCIATION WITH

Sevenoaks Prep
The very special, family-friendly atmosphere at Sevenoaks Prep is what sets
them apart from other schools.
Pastoral care is at the core of what they do. They
are there to make sure pupils learn but also that
the students are confident to talk to their teachers,
to their parents, to their peers and to new
audiences. They work together to make sure the
pupils receive the very best start in life.
The school is also proud of their excellent
academic achievements. The most recent leavers
were awarded scholarships for academic
success, sports, arts, drama and music. They
celebrate individuality and enable each pupil to

find their strengths and maximise their potential
by offering a diverse and exciting curriculum
within a secure community.
Pupils and teachers trust each other.
Fundamentally, the caring and dedicated staff
enjoy spending time with the children.
Every child has a chance to make a difference in
school and to contribute to school life. Drama,
music, art, and sport all play a very important
part in a pupil’s development. Everyone has the
opportunity to represent the school at sport, in
music concerts and in school productions.

Life in Years 7 and 8 is one of the great strengths
of Sevenoaks Prep. The older pupils play a crucial
role in school life as they are the leaders and role
models, and they are given responsibilities
accordingly. The close relationship between staff,
pupils and parents enables the staff to select the
senior school that best suits each individual pupil,
evident in the breadth and quality of schools to
which pupils go on to attend.
