Welcome to Solefield School

An academic day preparatory school for boys aged 4 to 13 years in Sevenoaks, Kent

Headmistress' Welcome

I am delighted to welcome you to Solefield School in the heart of Sevenoaks. Here, boys aged 4-13 are equipped with a love of learning and values for life. Our aim at Solefield is to nurture kind, honest, gentle young men with good manners and a strong sense of integrity.  Life here is about much more than achieving excellent 11+, ISEB and Common Entrance results as we focus unapologetically on wellbeing and the whole child. Our small class sizes, at around 16, ensures we have a genuine focus on the individual and strive to find and encourage each boy’s particular talents. 

Helen McClure, Headmistress
