Prep School

We are delighted you are considering Kent College Prep School for your son or daughter.

We invite families to visit us throughout the year; come along to Prep School events or book a personal tour with the Head or Head of Early Years.

Families with pre-school children are very welcome to join the Parent and Toddler Group that runs Friday mornings, 10.00am-11.00am during the term.

We hope you and your child will spend time getting to know us in advance of applying for a place and joining us.

Stay and Play

Fridays in Term Time, 10.00am to 11.00am
