Sevenoaks Preparatory School is a mainstream, non-selective, independent school for pupils aged 2-13. The school’s two main sections are the pre-prep, for pupils aged two to seven, and the prep, for pupils aged 8-13. The pre-prep contains the school’s registered Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) setting for children aged two to five.
Sevenoaks Preparatory School was founded in 1919, becoming an educational charity in 2003, under a governing board who act as trustees. It is set in 20 acres of wooded countryside, which provide sports and recreational facilities. In 2013, the school embarked on a ten-year redevelopment plan, which included a new sports pavilion, increasing funding for bursaries and adding a multi-purpose Astro Turf pitch.
The academic curriculum is enhanced by additional activities, including debating and critical thinking.
