Sutton Valence School is a leading co-educational boarding and day school, educating more than 810 pupils aged 2-18 years. Set in the heart of Kent, the beautiful surroundings of SVS have been inspiring pupils since 1576. The School enjoys an excellent reputation for providing a truly holistic education for its pupils, reflecting the Christian ethos of the School and the wider Foundation of which it is part. An important part of its success is the partnership between staff, parents and pupils who work together as a purposeful and supportive community, allowing pupils to excel and realise their full potential.

Sutton Valence School is built upon an educational ethos that not only adds value to our students’ academic potential but helps to develop them into confident and independent young adults who leave the School appreciating the community values that underpin all that we do. The focus that we place upon our community is undoubtedly one-of-a-kind, nurturing an environment where each cares for all but individuality is also truly cherished.
As our excellent results attest, academic achievement is paramount here at Sutton Valence School. Our success at adding value to a student’s potential is not only something that we pride ourselves on but equally, something that sets us apart. Measuring the improvement of every child as they progress along their educational journey not only contributes towards the students staying engaged and focused, but also ensures that their hard work is reflected in their results.
The strength of the School’s community ethos is a fundamental part of what makes Sutton Valence School so distinct. As a School, we are large enough to deliver a varied and specialised academic and enrichment provision, yet small enough to allow us to get to know every student individually, providing the best of both worlds. By keeping the numbers low, we ensure that all of the students feel recognised and supported, not just by their own teachers, but by the School community as a whole. By achieving this, we create an environment where pupils can be challenged, where they have the confidence amongst peers to be curious and above all, where their contributions can be harnessed to the benefit of all.
