WELCOME TO OUR SCHOOL, WHERE YOUNG PEOPLE THRIVE IN AN OPEN-MINDED AND OPEN HEARTED COMMUNITY
Kent College Senior School is a happy and caring school where students develop a love of learning, nurtured to achieve their potential academically and in the many personal, musical and sporting passions they pursue. It is most definitely a place where teachers really get to know the pupils, and have the time and space to give individual attention, both academically and pastorally.
We are a high achieving but non-selective school with an exceptionally broad curriculum and welcome students from all backgrounds, countries and faiths.
I would strongly encourage you to visit, to meet our staff and pupils, and to experience Kent College for yourself. I look forward to welcoming you.
Mr Mark Turnbull
Headteacher
A TAILORED CURRICULUM THAT DELIVERS RESULTS
Outstanding teaching and learning opportunities allow pupils to follow their passions and achieve exceptional academic results at GCSE, A-level and International Baccalaureate. While we are a non-selective school our students' learning progression means we are a leading IB World school and at A Level 70% of students regularly achieve A*-B grades.
According to Government league tables, Kent College is one of the best schools in adding value to academic grades across the country.
We also offer a wide range of additional support for pupils including English language teaching in our International Study Centre, and a specialist Learning Support Centre. We were delighted that at our most recent full inspection the Independent Schools Inspectorate judged the school to be ‘excellent’ in every aspect – the highest grade possible.

AN IMPRESSIVE RANGE OF CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES FROM THE PERFORMING ARTS TO YOUNG ENTERPRISE
Life outside the classroom is as important to us as life in lessons, and with so much on offer before, during and after school. At Kent College, students flourish in a dynamic creative environment, enriched by 7 choirs, 33 expert peripatetic music teachers, and 10 drama productions each year.
Our dedication to the performing arts has earned us a nomination for the prestigious National Theatre Awards.
