EDUCATION

IN ASSOCIATION WITH

Kent College
Celebrating Success
An outstanding independent co-educational day
and boarding school for pupils aged 3-18 years,
Kent College Canterbury has always enjoyed a
reputation as a particularly friendly and welcoming
school. But what is it that makes us stand out
from other schools? Is it our excellent academic
results? Our success on the sports field? The
delightful sound that our choirs make? That we
have a school farm? Our outstanding facilities?
The answer is undoubtedly 'Yes' to all of the
above, but for the teachers at Kent College, the
most important factor is that all of our students
leave the school with high self esteem and a real
sense of their value to society.

As part of their education, the students will have
created a network of friends both at home and
abroad and they will have been measured by
their ability to contribute to the community and
to have a voice when necessary. Throughout
their time at Kent College, they are each provided
with opportunities in which to excel, to succeed,
and sometimes, to fail. During which, application,
enjoyment and a sense of purpose prevail. The
famous words sung by Heather Small, 'What
have you done today to make you feel proud?'
often resonate around the walls of our morning
assemblies, in fitting with the ethos that we have
for our students.

We invite students of any age to join us for a
taster day, where they can come and see for
themselves.
