Independent Day & Boarding School

Unlocking the potential of all

The most interesting young people rarely fit a template.

At Kent College Pembury, we unlock the potential of every child through exceptional teaching, outstanding opportunities and a community where individuality is celebrated.

An independent day and boarding school in Kent for ages 2–18.

A school that sees potential differently

Every child arrives with their own strengths, ambitions and interests.

Our role is not to shape young people into one version of success. It is to help them discover who they are, what inspires them and what they are capable of achieving.

Set within 75 acres of beautiful Kent countryside near Tunbridge Wells, Kent College Pembury is an independent day and boarding school where academic achievement, creativity, sport and personal development work hand in hand.

At Kent College Pembury, students are encouraged to explore their interests, embrace opportunities and become the best version of themselves.

Young people who can think independently, collaborate confidently, adapt creatively and lead with kindness.

Because education should never be about fitting into a mould. It should be about unlocking your child’s full potential.

Our values - ASPIRE

Achievement. Support.

We are a school that ensures every student achieves above and beyond their potential. Whatever a student’s strength, we will nurture, support and encourage them to thrive. Our flexible and personalised offer allows every student to follow their own path in life and excel.

Purposeful. Individuality.

Reliability. Enquiring.

We are a community of reliable, respectful and resilient individuals, each with their own characters, personalities and strengths, brought together by the Methodist ethos of doing all the good you can. Enquiring and creative minds ensure intellectual curiously in order to maximise the academic achievement of all.
