Looking F orward
Our benefactors, through their philanthropy, play a key role in helping
the school realise its educational vision, funding bursaries, new facilities,
and our three Institutes. The generosity and support of parents and Old
Sennockians enables us to remain at the forefront of secondary education.
The Campaign for
Sevenoaks School
On behalf of the school and the Foundation I offer
sincere thanks and appreciation to every donor for
their philanthropic commitment to the advancement
of the school.
The Campaign for Sevenoaks School was launched
in April 2016, having amassed over £7 million in
early donations and pledges. The campaign has raised
in excess of £12 million in total, of a £15 million
target. This academic year our goal is to raise a further
£1.6 million in support of the new Science and
Technology Centre and Sixth Form Global Study
Centre and £1.4 million for bursaries.
Science and Technology
Centre and Sixth Form
Global Study Centre
The construction of the new Science and Technology
Centre and Sixth Form Global Study Centre began
in autumn 2016 and the builders, Gilbert Ash, are
on track to deliver the project by summer 2018.
Donations to this landmark project in the coming
year will help us to fit out more than 20 labs and
classrooms with advanced technology and equipment
that will enable our students and teachers to explore
the open frontier of science.
Bursary programme
The school’s bursary programme continues to
create access to a Sevenoaks School education for
academically talented students from financially
disadvantaged circumstances. Over the past year more
than 30 students were in receipt of a full bursary.
A recent leaver from this programme achieved an
outstanding IB Diploma score and is now studying
at Cambridge.
Institute of Teaching
and Learning
A leadership gift of £1 million was announced in
February 2017 for the new Institute of Teaching
and Learning. This gift will support a wide range of
programmes and activities over the next four years,
including fellowships, an ideas lab and a biennial
academic conference.
The collective generosity of our community has a
huge impact on all that we are trying to achieve and
makes a real difference to every student. Thank you,
once again, to our donors for your continuing
support and commitment to the advancement of
Sevenoaks School.
