Sutton Valence School

Students have been inspired by the beautiful surroundings of Sutton Valence School since 1576. Set in the heart of the Kent countryside, only 40 miles outside central London, the School has a vibrant boarding community which enjoys the benefit of rural living, but with easy access to the city.

From the School’s opening until now, our greatest strength is our community. The relationships enjoyed between staff, pupils and parents allow us to craft an educational journey that is individually suited to every pupil. Ultimately, if they feel supported, cared for and recognised for who they are, they will feel comfortable pushing themselves to discover the limits of their ability.

Through the high expectations and standards that we set, students are encouraged to go further than they had thought possible in their academic, enrichment, community and leadership journeys. We want them to become confident, civilised and open-minded individuals who possess a love of learning and a strong sense of self-discipline. Each will have taken a slightly different journey by the time they finish their School education, but their ultimate destinations are the same: that they will work hard to fulfil their true potential and add value to their lives.
