Outstanding opportunities…

Kent College’s Head Katrina Handford tells SO Magazine why there’s a real buzz about this all girls independent school right now…

There is a real buzz about Kent College at the moment and that’s because we are on a mission; a mission to ensure that every student has the opportunity to find their strengths and talents and become equipped for very bright futures.

As one of the first GC Index (Game Changing Index) accredited schools, Kent College (KC) students learn to understand their own unique contribution and impact, whilst teachers use the GC Index data to ensure that each student is engaged by tailoring their lessons to the students’ natural interests.

Our Methodist ethos of ‘doing all the good you can’ sits at the very heart of KC and ensures all students know their place in the world. There is a family feel, which nurtures confidence and ensures every student can be the very best they can be, not only for themselves but for the community and the world around them.

Our ability to ensure every student maximises their potential means we have impressive GCSE and A-Level results. However, what is most remarkable is the Value Added scores. This is a measure of results in comparison to potential. KC consistently scores within the top 10% of schools in the country for Value Added. We have excellent facilities which ensure we provide outstanding opportunities for the pupils so they can approach life and learning with creativity and adventure.

If you would like to experience the KC buzz for yourself, please do get in touch. The Senior School Open Morning is on Tuesday 28th February 2023. Please email admissions@kentcollege.kent.sch. uk to book the Open Morning or visit for a tour.
