This July, Sevenoaks School was delighted to welcome 325 students from 45 countries to our 2026 Summer Programme. Over the course of the programme, students immersed themselves in academic study, co-curricular activities, cultural experiences and new friendships, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Through the introduction of our updated academic curriculum, designed and delivered exclusively by Sevenoaks School teachers, students developed essential skills in critical thinking, communication, creativity, collaboration and leadership while exploring a range of stimulating topics and real-world challenges. The programme encouraged students to think independently, work effectively as part of a team and gain confidence in expressing and developing their ideas.

Outside the classroom, students chose from 22 different co-curricular activities, making full use of Sevenoaks School's exceptional facilities. This was a great opportunity for our students to embrace new challenges and work on improving their skillsets.

Sevenoaks School's sailing teams competed in the National Schools Championship at Itchenor. It was a week of great racing in a challenging tidal venue.

In a large fleet of 80 Feva dinghies, Sevenoaks School won the overall Team Trophy. A great achievement and the first time the school has won this since the start of the Feva class in 2012. Sophia and Lizzie also sailed brilliantly over the two-day regatta to win the 1st all-girl trophy.

Among the 70 Firefly dinghies, the school performed well with three boats in the top 20 overall.

The Mental Health Awareness Society (MHAS) is a student-led initiative which was created to encourage more open conversations about mental health and to make support feel more accessible.

In its first term, MHAS welcomed 75 students to its launch meeting and has since averaged 44 students at each session. Discussions have covered topics including anxiety, depression, exam stress and resilience. The aim is to provide a welcoming space where students can learn, reflect and support one another.

Sixth Form founder Ilyan says, “If the club helps even one person feel more understood or supported, then it has achieved exactly what it was created for.”
The society’s impact has extended beyond its weekly meetings. Alongside Danny Bassett (OS 2024), Ilyan and MHAS helped organise a charity hockey match that raised over £1,500 for mental health causes.

As the society looks ahead to another exciting year, it hopes to continue encouraging open conversations and welcoming both new and current students into an inclusive community.

Our five-day Geography expedition to Iceland was packed with unforgettable experiences. Surrounded by dramatic landscapes, we explored glaciers, volcanoes, waterfalls and black sand beaches while learning about the powerful geological forces that have shaped the country.

Highlights included snorkelling in the crystal-clear Silfra Fissure between two tectonic plates, climbing Eldfell volcano in the Westman Islands, and walking across Sólheimajökull Glacier. We also experienced Iceland’s geothermal activity first-hand at the Secret Lagoon, Geysir and Hellisheiði Power Station.
