Year 7 Taster Day
Tuesday 20th January 2026
If you’re exploring options for a Year 7 place, we would like to invite your child to join our Taster Day this January. It’s a chance to experience life at Kent College first-hand.
Pupils can choose to attend one of three practical sessions – Sport, Performing Arts or Food Technology. Afterwards, they’ll come together for a STEM activity featuring exploding jelly babies and the chance to meet our school turtles, a firm favourite with our students.
Parents are invited to join us for refreshments during the final part of the event, with an opportunity to meet our Senior Team and learn how Kent College helps unlock the potential of every child.
