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 its pupils and this school is us.

Welcome to Kent College Prep

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

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.

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.

Life at KC Prep

Learning

KC Prep pupils attain a high level of academic achievement and there is a good success rate in the Kent Test with pupils leaving to join local Grammar schools. Many girls move up to KC Senior School where there is a seamless transition into Year 7. Wherever they go on to KC Prep pupils are ready and prepared for the next steps.
