Duke of Kent School

Duke of Kent Senior School is the perfect setting for your child's journey from the end of childhood to the verge of adulthood.

Duke of Kent School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all its staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

In the classroom, on the sports field, in the art studio or on the stage, all pupils can find opportunities to test their abilities and to find areas in which they can excel. We recognise the strengths and individuality of each of our pupils, harness their abilities, and allow them to flourish.

Crucial to our success is a dual approach to our students' progress: we not only challenge them, but we nurture them too. Small class sizes and a high staff to pupil ratio, ensures that staff are aware of the needs of each pupil, and the pupil in turn, is engaged in a way that suits their learning, thus developing their ability to make the most of their future opportunities. Our students do not just enjoy their time here, they thrive.

It is essential to us that the students understand the importance of courtesy and manners, that they are aware of those around them, and that they understand the value of selflessness. This moral core is central to the academic, creative, cultural and social development of each student, allowing them to become mature, independent individuals, ready for the next step.
