Where are the skills our children will need
to optimise the internet?
Well, complex problem-solving skills are embedded
in the curriculum at Sevenoaks School, so in theory we
need look no further.
Our alumni certainly go on to achieve extraordinary
things; equipped as they are with the skills they need to
change the waiting world.
Robyn Exton for example, mastered complex
problem solving at Sevenoaks. She left in 2004, and
now runs a mighty tech-based business in Silicon Valley;
a business she built from scratch serving a market
worth billions.
It’s worth considering then, that many of the skills
your child may need to make a significant impact, can be
acquired here at Sevenoaks.

Every day at Sevenoaks, students practise complex problem solving, critical thinking, creative thinking, negotiation, team working
and service provision – essential skills our alumni will use to excel at jobs which have yet to be invented and to reshape their world.
