A Word from the Head

One of the most important choices that we as parents have to make is where our children should be educated. The start they make in their first months and years at school will have a profound influence on the rest of their life. It is vital that in these early years each child feels happy, loved and protected, is encouraged to learn and grow, and is also stimulated to expand his or her interests and talents well beyond the classroom. The process of developing well-rounded, mature young people, confident but also responsible, begins in these formative years.

At the Kent College Infant and Junior School we seek to find the ideal balance between academic development and the encouragement of these broader interests. We have a highly qualified staff and our children progress in a structured manner through the Nursery and Infant Departments to the Junior School. Each child’s development is carefully monitored and there is regular consultation with parents. The result is an outstanding academic success record, with the large majority of our pupils going on to our Senior School, many with scholarships.

We do not, however, seek to be judged on academic success alone. We are fortunate in having beautiful and tranquil grounds which allow us the facilities for a huge range of sports and games. Music, art and drama flourish in the school, and there is a comprehensive list of activities available to our children after school and, if they wish, on Saturday mornings.

Recognising the pressures on parents today, we operate a flexible hours policy which allows for children to arrive at school as early as 7.45am and to be collected up to 6.00pm each school day.

Above all, we are a happy school. As a Christian foundation, we are fully committed to the development of the full potential of each individual. Our children know that we expect much of them but they also know that they will be cherished and supported in all their endeavours. A website can only say so much about any school, so come and visit us, and experience for yourself the special magic of the Kent College Infant and Junior School at Vernon Holme.
