In September 2025 Sevenoaks welcomed inspectors from the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), the body responsible for evaluating the quality and standards of independent schools across the UK. Their visit was a thorough and professional process, designed to assess every aspect of school life — from teaching and learning, to pastoral care, leadership, and the overall wellbeing of pupils.

We are delighted to share the outstanding findings of their report. Sevenoaks continues to thrive as a school that nurtures enquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people, empowered to make a difference in the world. As well as passing all five areas of compliance and regulatory standards with flying colours, the inspectors were impressed by our global outlook, culture of care, supportive learning environment and expectional academic outcomes.

“The school’s ethos of enquiry, knowledge, care and inclusivity is thoroughly embedded in school life. Pupils and staff alike understand and embrace these values; they are lived out in the daily experiences of the community. ”
