About Somerhill
We are delighted that you are interested in Somerhill.
We have a very special school here with a unique offering: the ‘best of both worlds’, the ‘ideal mix’, and the ‘place I always dreamt of finding’ are the comments we often hear from parents or visitors. With co-educational learning from 2 - 7 years, Somerhill then offers single-sex classroom lessons until children leave us for senior schools, allowing uninhibited learning and bespoke strategies for the older girls and boys with all the benefits of a co-educational setting.
Our philosophy for the children at Somerhill is straightforward: happy children want to learn. Children are happy if they can play, participate widely and start to master skills of whatever kind, and our stunning setting and outstanding facilities offer endless opportunities for children to find something that makes them smile.
We have very bright and capable pupils and send more pupils to grammar schools each year than any other local school.
Destinations include The Judd School, The Skinners’ School and Tonbridge Grammar School. Some pupils are awarded scholarships at independent schools such as Tonbridge School, Sevenoaks School, Walthamstow Hall School and Sutton Valence School at 11+/13+.
We also cater to children who find aspects of their learning more challenging and currently approximately 40 pupils receive additional support.
You will see that this really is some school, an exceptional learning environment where we grow amazing people!
