Sevenoaks is a co-educational day and boarding school for 11 to 18-year-olds.
Over 1,000 day pupils and boarders attend, ranging in age from 11 to 18 years. There are approximately equal numbers of boys and girls.
Sevenoaks School is among several leading UK schools and is one of the most expensive schools in the country.
Their superb 100-acre campus is in the Kent countryside, just half an hour from Central London and Gatwick International Airport.
Facilities
There are currently around 1165 students in the school. Around 470 of these are in the Sixth Form.
The school is fully co-educational, with 50:50 boys and girls.
There are no boarders in the Lower School but 40% of the students aged 13 to 18 board.
Currently 46 different nationalities are represented within the student body. The IB programme attracts students from right across Europe as well as Africa, Asia, the Americas and occasionally Australasia to Sevenoaks.
Lessons and co-curricular activities take place six days a week, including Saturdays. On Saturday, students attend three lessons in the morning, have an early lunch just after noon, and, from Year 9 upwards, play sports in the afternoon. (Lower School students are free on Saturday afternoons.)
Saturday is a normal school day with lessons in the morning and, from Year 9 onward, sports matches against other schools in the afternoon. Any boarder can leave for the weekend after their match, to stay with family or friends. Around 60% of boarders in the 13-18 Houses, and nearly all students in the 16-18 Houses opt to stay in school for the weekend. There is a lie-in on Sunday mornings followed by brunch. Optional organised activities may be available in the afternoon, or students can sign out to Knole Park or Sevenoaks Town (where there are restaurants, cafes, shops, a theatre and a cinema), catch up with friends in other Houses, make use of the extensive facilities in their Houses or in school, or spend the time catching up on some reading.
