About Us

A Welcome from the Headmaster

Choosing the right school can be a difficult decision - judgement could be made on academic achievement, facilities and extensive extra curricular activities. Sevenoaks Prep could be chosen on any one of these grounds alone.

Our academic standards are high and we are justifiably proud of our record at 11+, 13+ and scholarship entry to independent day and boarding schools, the local grammar schools and international schools.

Alongside the more traditional academic subjects, Sport, Music, and Drama are integral to the life of the school and are taught from Nursery upwards. Our extensive grounds not only provide excellent facilities, but also encourage play and exploration and throughout the school participation is encouraged in a varied spectrum of extra curricular activities.

Our small class sizes and strong focus on pastoral care mean we understand and treat each child as an individual. As the children move through the school they are offered opportunities for responsibility and leadership, which enable them to move on in life with confidence and self-reliance.

Our children embody the school's philosophies, which have guided them over the years and it is our children and their families that make The Prep what it is - a very special place where pupils flourish into confident and competent members of society. 

I look forward to meeting you so that you can experience The Prep's special atmosphere.
