Admissions

Admissions at Sevenoaks Preparatory School are warm, visit led and well suited to families seeking a Kent prep that pairs nurturing day-school warmth with serious 11+ and 13+ preparation and strong all-round opportunities. The school should suit parents who value a prep environment where children are known well, stretched thoughtfully and prepared for the next stage without the atmosphere feeling overdone.
