Kent College, Pembury is a medium-sized girls-only school based in beautiful countryside approximately thirty miles from London.
The location of the school is ideal not only for those in London and the South-East, but for the international community, with both Heathrow and Gatwick Airports within easy reach via the M25 and A21 roads.
The size of the school, with nearly 400 boarding, weekly boarding and day pupils, makes a full academic curriculum and an extensive programme of extra-curricular activities possible.
At the same time, this optimum size means that girls receive individual attention, are treated as individuals - and feel at home.
The school accepts boarders from age eight to eighteen, so it is possible for pupils to receive continuous education right up to university entrance.
Girls come here from all over the world. Students have the opportunity to make friendships with girls from many different cultures and countries; and those from abroad, rather than feeling isolated, have a real sense of belonging, in a vibrant and exciting community.
The school has a tradition of Christian values. Standards are high - and girls are encouraged to work hard and achieve. The broad spectrum of courses and activities - including music, drama, sport and community service, lets girls discover their strengths and develop their potential to the full. They learn to accept responsibility, take decisions and make a real contribution to the life of the community.
Workshops and social events, half-term and holiday trips at home and abroad - excursions to the theatre, exhibitions and art galleries in London and elsewhere, all serve to stimulate Kent College students.
Yet the rural environment, careful supervision, and escort services to airports and stations all serve to protect students and provide a secure, safe and caring environment in which they can thrive.
