Sevenoaks School Summer Programmes aim to furnish students with a structured but relaxed, consistent and friendly home in which to develop into young adults, full of self-esteem, with a sense of responsibility. It is our belief that young people thrive on high expectations and plenty of justified praise. Our experienced boarding staff are genuinely conscientious, committed, caring and approachable.
Each house has a Housemaster or Housemistress and two Houseparents. In each house, there are always two members of the boarding team on duty, 24 hours per day. Their role is a varied one, although a key part is to look after the health and welfare needs of the students. If a student is unwell, they will make sure that they are looked after in the house, and that medical attention is sought when necessary. All of the house staff live in the boarding houses for the duration of the programme, so they can be contacted at any time by students, whether it’ s at lunch for a quick chat or at 3am if a student feels unwell or unhappy. Each house has a well-stocked kitchen as well as several social areas.
For students who are interested in studying at Sevenoaks or another top UK boarding school in the future, this is the ideal way to get a taste of boarding before applying.
Sevenoaks School has eight boarding houses in total, all with first-class facilities and different characteristics. Boys and girls are separated into different houses, with a junior and senior split. Older students are placed in single and double bedrooms while younger students stay in larger dormitories.
