Duke of Kent Senior School

Duke of Kent Senior School provides the ideal environment for supporting your child's journey from childhood through to the threshold of adulthood. Whether in the classroom, on the sports field, in the art studio, or on the stage, our pupils are given ample opportunities to test their abilities and discover their areas of excellence. We celebrate the unique strengths and individuality of each student, cultivate their talents, and ensure they have the support needed to flourish. 

Our approach to student development is both challenging and nurturing. By maintaining small class sizes and a high staff to pupil ratio, we ensure that our teachers are acutely aware of each pupil's needs. This personalised attention engages students in a manner that suits their individual learning styles, helping them to maximize their future opportunities. Our students not only enjoy their time at Duke of Kent; they truly thrive.

We place a strong emphasis on instilling the importance of courtesy, manners, and awareness of others in our students. Our five core values — honesty, kindness, effort, respect, and responsibility— are essential to their academic, creative, cultural, and social development. This moral foundation fosters the growth of our students into mature, independent individuals who are well prepared for the next stage of their lives.

At Duke of Kent Senior School, we empower our pupils to be ambitious, determined, and self reliant, enabling them to discover their potential on their own. We foster a learning environment that is both rigorous and supportive, encouraging students to take responsibility for their own learning and to strive for excellence. Our pupils are expected to understand and embrace this responsibility, aspiring to be the best they can be. This holistic approach ensures that they not only succeed academically but also develop into well rounded individuals ready to tackle future challenges.
