Sevenoaks School Summer Programmes aim to furnish students with a structured , 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 many 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 wide 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 summer , 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 potentially studying at Sevenoaks or another top UK boarding school in the future , this is the ideal way to get a taste for it 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 .
