The Trustees of Sevenoaks School Foundation
Sevenoaks School Foundation is a distinct charity from Sevenoaks School and has independent Trustees. The aim of the Foundation is to support Sevenoaks School in providing a first-class education. The Trustees do so by leasing the buildings in which the School carries out its activities and by overseeing the work of the Development Office in raising the funds necessary to support both new building projects and a widening of access by the award of bursaries. By looking to the future, the Trustees believe that Sevenoaks will maintain its position as a leading independent school with a worldwide reputation.
