Sackville School is situated in Hildenborough, mid-way between Tonbridge and Sevenoaks. The school is set in 28 acres of magnificent parkland and the main building dates from the 1860's. The school has three modern laboratories, a dedicated Computer Room, an impressive Sports Hall, Art and Design Suites, as well as the usual range of specialist teaching rooms.
The philosophy of the school is based on the individual and their unique learning needs. By concentrating on excellence, and by treating every child as a wonderfully unique individual, the school ensures that each child has the opportunity to fulfil their true potential, and develop their gifts and talents at all levels. Students achieve excellent GCSE results and the school has just launched at Sixth Form, offering a range of 'A' Level and GCSE packages.
Sackville students are cheerful, confident children who work hard and enjoy aiming high and achieving their very best. The Head and staff create a warm, friendly working atmosphere, whilst promoting pride in achievement.
The full range of academic, cultural and sporting activities are offered and all students are encouraged to try all activities. All major team games, and minor sports, are played and Sackville students have represented their County as well as National Squads. The school has a lively Music Department and over three quarters of the students are engaged in making music. The Creative Arts are particularly well represented: the school has a very well known Steel Band which is in great demand in the locality; Art is exceptionally strong and Drama has a growing reputation for excellence. The Activities programme is an integral part of the school day and includes Orchestra, Choir, Steel Band, Duke of Edinburgh Award, Drama, Golf, Film Unit, Table Tennis, Boules, Fishing, Archery, Self Defence, Community Service, Shooting, School Magazine, Ceramics, Computing, Photography, Camp Craft and many other activities.
The school fosters the qualities of honour, care for others, thoughtfulness and tolerance. The Head is always delighted to show parents, and their sons and daughters around, and to discuss the educational opportunities available at Sackville. Guests receive a very warm welcome.
