This is us. Excited, curious, funny, thoughtful and bursting with imagination. Ready for the magic that’s waiting for us, somewhere, every single day. We are KC Prep. There are adventures and stories and lessons to be found here and we always find them. We act with kindness, care and consideration. We explore forests and ideas. Play sports, make choices, make messes. Schools aren’t their buildings or grounds or uniforms. Schools are worlds created by the minds of their pupils and this school is us.
Welcome
Welcome
Kent College Prep School is a very special place where children are at the heart of everything we do. We believe that happy children learn best, that great pastoral care underpins everything and that success is gained from the learning journey as much as the destination. Offering opportunity to children, who are inspired and willing to give their best, achieves great results. We look forward to welcoming you to the KC community.

Our School
Our School
KC Prep pupils have amazing facilities to make their own. Seventy five acres of woodland, a confidence course, modern classrooms, full sized astro, two sports halls, science labs, music block and a fully equipped theatre. They are taught by specialist teachers, in small class sizes and attain impressive academic success.
Our ethos of outdoor learning as an essential part of our curriculum really sets us apart. Being outdoors provides a bridge between formal and informal learning, equipping the children with the skills they need to face uncertainty and change with courage and confidence.
A rich programme of extracurricular activities discovers new talents, nurtures those that already exist and provides the perfect balance with our broad curriculum to create well-rounded children.
Welcoming Boys
Welcoming Boys
In September 2020 we began accepting boys into our Forest Explorers Nursery and this started a gradual transition to a co-educational Prep School. Boys were able to join Reception in 2021 and from September 2022 they can join Year 1. Boys will be able to join each successive year group until the school is fully co-educational by 2027.
Our focus on helping each child grow and develop as an individual, be adventurous and develop skills for life applies equally to girls and boys. Our first class sports facilities cater for all sports with cricket, hockey and football already played. Our kind and nurturing ethos and academic excellence produces children ready and prepared for the future.
