"A highly sought-after day and boarding school with a cosmopolitan community that really ramps up in the Sixth Form with a large intake of international boarders, highly successful IB results and an impressive university entrance programme, especially for those heading to US colleges"

About

Sevenoaks (founded in 1432) is a co-educational day and boarding school for students aged 11 to 18. Half an hour from Central London and Gatwick International Airport, our superb 100-acre campus is set in the Kent countryside. Boarding is an important part of the school’s ethos and students of 70 different nationalities contribute to an atmosphere that is globally engaged, tolerant and open-minded.

Sevenoaks is one of the world’s leading IB schools, having taught the IB for 44 years. For nearly 20 years, all Sixth Formers have taken the full IB Diploma. It has twice received the distinction of being named The Sunday Times Independent Secondary School of the Year, and the UK Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) awarded Sevenoaks the rare accolade of ‘Exceptional’ for its pupils’ achievement.

In 2022, our average Diploma score was 40.1 points, about eight points above the world average, and consistent with previous years. We proudly publish our university destinations with 98 per cent of our students progressing to their firm-choice university. The majority go to Oxbridge, London universities or other top universities in the UK, like Bristol or Durham. Given our global perspective, 20% of our students go to universities in another country, specifically Ivy league and top universities in the United States.

Sevenoaks delivers a broad, balanced programme of study. Strengthened by wise pastoral care, Sevenoaks students work hard to satisfy their natural curiosity and extend themselves far above and beyond the core curriculum. Students have access to world class-facilities for co-curricular pursuits, including sport, music, drama and art, at least 70 clubs and societies, a wide range of study trips and exchanges, and a well-established community service programme.

Recent campus developments include a new boarding house for boys, a state-of-the art science and technology centre uniting the four core fields of science, and an innovative new Sixth Form centre. With seven distinctive and comfortable boarding houses, our boarding community is fun, friendly and busy. A new girls’ boarding house is currently being built and will open in September 2023.
