EDUCATION IN ASSOCIATION WITH Bethany School Bethany is a flourishing, independent co-educational school set in a stunning location. Situated in 60 acres of beautiful Kentish countryside, the school seeks to educate the whole person through a curriculum that is innovative, broad and personalised; a spiritual life, which is both vibrant and relevant; and activities outside of the classroom, which stretch and challenge. As parents, we want the very best for our children. At Bethany, the team ensures that pupils get the best possible grades, while also helping them to develop great interpersonal skills that will equip them to succeed in our rapidly changing world. Our committed staff get to know every pupil to support their learning, wellbeing and personal development effectively. Bethany’s Sixth Formers benefit from a rich mix of expert academic tuition, interspersed with diverse sporting, social and cultural opportunities. The School's leavers emerge as confident individuals, ready to lead independent, successful and fulfilling lives. They are prepared for university entry through expert careers guidance and mock interviews and also for life beyond Bethany, with a health and fitness programme called Body for Life and a Uni-Gourmet cookery course. Pupils are encouraged to develop their existing interests and discover new ones. Between 4pm 147 and 5pm every day, the school runs a vast array of activities ranging from life drawing and chef’s school, to horse riding, dancing, bush craft and a high ropes course. Ma
