The Governing Body of Kent College, Canterbury is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Mark Turnbull as the new Headmaster of Kent College.

Mr Turnbull succeeds Dr David Lamper who has retired after serving thirteen years of leadership at Kent College. Mark brings a wealth of experience in the independent school sector to the role. Mark was previously the Head of Giggleswick School for 7 years and is highly regarded.

The Sunday Times has placed Kent College Junior School in its top 75 in the 2020 Parent Power List, the only independent school in East Kent! The list identifies highest achieving schools in the UK, ranked by their examination results.

Children follow individualised programmes that recognises that all children flourish at different rates and in response to different challenges. These challenges must be appropriate and delivered in a positive, encouraging way. All children benefit from our accelerated learning programme where they are taught numeracy and literacy in groups that are ability based rather than age based. All children receive a wide and varied range of opportunities that will allow them to enjoy a variety of activities and wherever appropriate strive for excellence.

Pupils at Kent College are incredibly lucky to have access to the school’s full working farm, set in 50 acres (20 hectares) of land, and run by Mrs Stephanie Dean. The Farm is a short walk from the main Senior school campus, and is open to all pupils from both the Junior and Senior schools.

The UK’s number one school guide advises parents on all aspects of education for over 1,000 schools and Kent College Canterbury is proud to be one of them. We welcomed their consultants for interviews with our Head Teachers, current parents and pupils in order to give prospective parents a credible, transparent and trusted view of our school.
