A NEW BOARDING HOUSE FOR SEVENOAKS SCHOOL
Images and design by Tim Ronalds Architects
We are delighted to have started construction of our new boarding house funded by the Sevenoaks School Foundation . The house will accommodate 60 girls in Year 9 and above and will be situated not far from Park Grange , Aisher House and the International Centre , on the site of Lambardes , the Lower School house which closed in 2018 .
Designed to blend in with its natural environment , the house will enjoy a leafy private setting . Surrounded by native yew , lime and holm oak trees , with a planting scheme planned to enhance the site ’ s ecological value , it will offer a calm retreat from busy school life . With no corridors , the bedrooms will be grouped around landings to create inviting social spaces and a homely atmosphere .
This exciting project continues the development of our boarding provision , giving Sevenoaks School eight wonderfully distinctive boarding houses : for Year 9 upwards , three girls ’ houses and three boys ’ houses ; and two Sixth Form houses , one for boys and one for girls .
Work began during the summer and the new boarding house is due to open in September 2023 .
