Sutton Valence School

In their own words

Sutton Valence School is a co-educational day and boarding school for ages two to 18. Starting in Little Lambs Nursery, our youngest cohort can start as young as two. Our Preparatory School runs from Reception through to Year 6, and our Senior School, runs from First Form (Year 7) up to Sixth Form, offering the very best Kent education.

Since it was founded in 1576 by William Lambe, a local benefactor, Sutton Valence School has been part of Sutton Valence village. Lambe was a member of the court of King Henry VIII, a chorister in the Chapel Royal and a Master of the Worshipful Company of Clothworkers. He funded many social projects, including Lambe’s Conduit in London, which helped to remove sewage from the streets.

The admissions process uses the online ISEB Common Pre Test (sometimes referred to as the Common Entrance Exam). This exam has a specific format and structure, includes a range of predictable questions types and is taken in an online/computer environment. Students should pay particular attention to the Non-Verbal and Verbal-Reasoning modules, as these sections may include question types they have never encountered before.
