Interested in Year 7 Entry?


Every year, up to a half of the Year 6 children at Sevenoaks Prep gain grammar school places. The others choose to stay on to pursue a place at one of the selection of prestigious independent schools that Sevenoaks and its surrounding area is so lucky to have. This allows the school to make places available into Year 7.
It is a good time to join the school as the children start their senior school education in small classes and this means that teaching can be adapted according to the needs of each child. The students are taught by specialist subject teachers in a broad range of subjects including Spanish, French, art, music and drama and they are given the opportunity to reinforce their classroom learning with regular visits, workshops and field trips. These vary from preparing food and speaking Spanish in a London tapas bar to visiting Ypres and the WWI trenches. Competitive sport is played every week and the girls and boys get the opportunity to play against other schools in a wide range of sports.

Parents are kept up to date with progress via regular contact with teaching staff and this partnership allows pupils to progress quickly, gain confidence in and form a solid understanding of subject matter. This in turn prepares them well for their 13+ exams and further study towards GCSEs. As the children enter Year 7 they are offered opportunities for responsibilities and leadership which enable them to move on in life with confidence and self reliance.

During their final year the children gain places at local independent schools and other boarding options further a field. They are also very successful in achieving academic, music and sports scholarships to a variety of these schools. Click here to find information on our destination schools.

The school is justly proud of its facilities which include well equipped classrooms, a sports hall and a recently opened building that houses a state of art drama studio, music centre and student restaurant.
