Welcome to Solefield School

A high-achieving day co-ed preparatory school, for boys & girls 3-13 years in central Sevenoaks, Kent.
'Value yourself. Value others. Value our world.'

Headmistress' Welcome

I am delighted to welcome you to Solefield School in the heart of Sevenoaks. Here, children aged 3-13 are equipped with a love of learning and values for life.  Our aim at Solefield is to nurture kind, honest, gentle young adults with excellent manners, a strong sense of integrity, emotional literacy and resilience.  Solefield pupils enjoy exceptional academic results at age 11 and 13 but life here is about much more than this as we focus unapologetically on wellbeing and the whole child. Our small class sizes, at around 12-14 for most classes, ensure we have a genuine focus on the individual and strive to find and encourage each child’s particular talents. Our school values - 'Value yourself. Value others. Value our world' run through everything we do, as do our wellbeing dogs, Monty and Charlie!
