The story so far
The Sevenoaks School Foundation
was formed in 2004 to support the
advancement of Sevenoaks School
today and into the future.
Robert Sackville-West
Chairman of Trustees
Sevenoaks School Foundation
Sevenoaks School
has been
transforming the
lives of talented
young people
since 1432.
Over the past decade, the Foundation
has raised in excess of £17 million,
of which more than £7 million has
been from individual donations. This
has supported the development
of outstanding new facilities for
Sevenoaks School, including The
Sennocke Centre in 2005 and The
Space performing arts centre in 2010.
At the same time, the Foundation has
sought to widen access and increase
diversity by funding the provision of
bursaries through the school and
establishing an endowment. Neither
of these initiatives would have been
possible without the encouragement,
support and commitment of the entire
school community – parents, students,
staff and alumni – and I extend my
thanks to all who have contributed.
The Foundation is overseen by a board
of Trustees which includes current and
former parents and Old Sennockians,
who work in close partnership with the
school Governors and senior staff to
determine strategic priorities.
Looking ahead, the Governors,
Trustees and senior staff have set out an
ambitious vision which seeks to ensure
that Sevenoaks School continues to
provide an exceptional education.
The support of students, staff, parents
and alumni is fundamental to everything
we are trying to achieve, and I am
delighted that so many have chosen
to join us to help make our vision for
Sevenoaks School a reality.
I hope you will continue to do so.
Our vision for the future
Dr Katy Ricks
Head
Sevenoaks School
During my time as Head, the
Sevenoaks School Foundation has
played a key role in enabling the
school to realise its vision. Support
from the Foundation enabled us
to build the two largest and most
appealing additions to our campus
in the school’s modern history: The
Sennocke Centre and The Space.
Together, these have transformed
the quality of our students’ education
in the arts and in sport. Our facilities
are now equal to the very best in
the world, and give teachers and
students an environment in which
they can flourish.
The Foundation continues to
play a vitally important role in
bursary funding, ensuring that the
school can attract and support
academically talented students
from diverse social and economic
backgrounds. The Trustees are
committed to keeping alive the spirit
of our founder, William Sevenoke, by
raising funds to ensure that the very
best students can enjoy what can be
a life-changing education.
objectives and priorities to 2020 and
beyond. We remain committed to
developing an inspiring teaching and
learning environment. The next two
major projects, a new Science and
Technology Centre and a new Sixth
Form Centre, will support academic
endeavour in the sciences in the
digital age, and provide new study
and research space for all students
and staff, centred on our distinctive
IB education.
Alongside these plans for the physical
environment is our goal to double
bursaries and increase boarding
capacity. To ensure the school
remains at the forefront of global
education we will create three virtual
institutes, for Teaching and Learning,
Higher Education and Careers, and
Service and Entrepreneurship. I hope
you will share our vision for the future.
Thank you for your generous support
and commitment to the advancement
of Sevenoaks School.

The difference we
have made together
S tudents have fantastic sporting opportunities
with 100 PE lessons and clubs taking place every
week. The Sennocke Centre enables them to
experience an enhanced curriculum, including
water polo, climbing, Taekwondo and fencing.

Student perspectives
Jasmine Lower Sixth
All staff and student interviews about the impact of donations to
Sevenoaks School Foundation were conducted by Jasmine as
part of Service.
I have recently joined Sevenoaks School, and already the experience of a wide
range of opportunities has given me the sense of freedom to be who I want to
be. As an international student I have really benefited from living with students
from different countries, and with it the chance to learn about new cultures
and languages, and the skill of accepting and appreciating differences.
Daniel Year 11
Maya Year 10
Elias Year 10
It’s easy to take the quality of the
facilities for granted because they
are so integral to my day-to-day
routine; from practising the piano to
playing badminton with my friends.
I’m very happy to be a part of the
unique and diverse Sevenoaks
School community; in the same
day I have given presentations
to student societies about China
before going on to discuss issues
in Europe and Africa.
My favourite aspect of the school is
the campus. The Space is beautiful
yet functional, with facilities to suit
any type of musician. Playing in
orchestras and chamber group
rehearsals never feels like a chore.
It makes me feel proud and
privileged to be part of this vibrant
school and gives me the driving
force to do well.
The best thing about being a
Sevenoaks student is that it has
opened up many academic and
co-curricular opportunities. I
find the learning challenging and
enjoyable and the huge choice of
activities means you can pursue
almost any skill you want. I also
like the way that the school has a
diverse range of students but still
achieves a close-knit community
by helping people settle in and
making them feel at home.

Staff perspectives
Mr Peter Hill
Joined Sevenoaks School in 1976
Head of Boys’ Games
I have seen so many changes at the
school since I joined and students
have benefited immensely from
generous donations to provide
state-of-the-art facilities. There are
now much broader opportunities
in sports including squash,
swimming, volleyball, basketball,
indoor athletics, football, cricket
and tennis. I hope the school can
continue to provide an excellent
education, outstanding pastoral
care and a varied selection
of activities.
Mr Alex Smith
Joined Sevenoaks School in 1987
Divisional Head
Economics Teacher
If you attract good students,
you need good resources. I think
the school and the Foundation
work together to achieve this.
Sevenoaks is terrific; it is
exceptional, and different from
traditional British schools. My
hope is that more people can
benefit from an education here.
Miss Alexandra Schmaller
Joined Sevenoaks School in 2013
Assistant Boarding House Tutor
German Teacher
Mrs Arabella Stuart
Joined Sevenoaks School in 1987
Director of Admissions
Biology Teacher
We are a school which enjoys
difference. We’re co-educational,
boarding and day, local and
international with some 40
different nationalities, and there’s a
good social and economic mix of
pupils too. In my view our bright,
collaborative, involved pupils are
our greatest strength, and they
will continue to be: the number of
applicants has never been higher.

In contrast to other schools,
Sevenoaks has endless
opportunities for students and
staff alike. I am impressed by the
students’ drive and determination
to achieve outstanding results
academically, be challenged across
the curriculum and push themselves
to become excellent in any
discipline. Teaching staff not only
thrive and enjoy creative freedom in
their subject, they become involved
in co-curricular sports and club
activities and as boarding house
tutors. Sevenoaks School is a truly
vibrant and special place and one I
am lucky to call my new home.

Mr Matthew Cook
Joined Sevenoaks School in 2012
Boarding House Tutor
Music Teacher
Since joining the school I have been
in awe of The Space. This year, the
music and drama departments
collaborated on Les Misérables
giving me the opportunity to work
on the first large-scale musical in
the performing arts centre. Without
the Pamoja Hall, a production
of this magnitude and ambition
would not have been possible.
The six sell-out performances,
with standing ovations every night,
will be a memory that the pupils
and I cherish forever.
F rom a young
age students are
given remarkable
opportunities with
over 750 music
lessons taught
each week in
The Space.
Chris Dyer
Mr Chris Dyer
Joined Sevenoaks School in 2002
Director of Music
I believe music is one of the school’s
many strengths. From a young
age, students have remarkable
opportunities to study disciplines
that range from jazz piano and
French horn to Alexander technique
and studio music production.
Music scholarships have helped
ambitious students go beyond
what might be ordinarily possible.
In the future I hope to give students
additional musical experiences
through concerts, more large-scale
productions such as Les Misérables,
and chamber music opportunities.
Mr Mike Bolton MBE
Sevenoaks School Access Adviser
Teacher, Housemaster, Undermaster
(1973-2012)
Sevenoaks School has a long and proud
history of providing support to students.
Indeed, the founding of the school in 1432
through a bequest by William Sevenoke
was for that very purpose – to provide an
education for young scholars, regardless
of financial background. More recently,
the school was able to support students
through Kent Free Places, and many who
received this type of financial support went
on to great careers all over the world.
Since the end of Kent Free Places, the
school has supported bursaries from its
own resources, and we remain committed
to William Sevenoke’s founding vision of
a diverse school that offers an excellent
education for all. Last year I became the
school’s first Access Adviser. Much of my
time has been spent cultivating deeper
relationships with local primary schools
to ensure that talented young students
are aware of Sevenoaks School as a
possible destination, regardless of their
personal circumstances.
In order that Sevenoaks School can
continue this proud tradition, the
Governors have resolved to double our
capacity for bursaries by 2021. This is a
huge challenge, and to help achieve it the
Sevenoaks School Foundation launched
its inaugural Founder’s Bursary Fund
annual appeal in 2012.
The generosity of the school community
has been immense. Parents, Old
Sennockians and staff have already
contributed enough to offer three
additional pupils full bursaries for seven
years – a truly inspiring response that
gives me great hope for the future.
Together we can make a difference.
I am extremely
grateful for the gift
of a bursary – it
made me appreciate
the chance I had
been given.
Sophie Dillon
Widening access
and diversity
Over the past decade,
Sevenoaks School has
steadily increased its funding
for bursaries. Today, one in
20 of our students receive
financial support to attend the
school. Sophie Dillon, who
left Sevenoaks in 2010, has
experienced the benefits a
bursary gives.
Sophie Dillon
Old Sennockian (2010)
During her GCSE year Sophie’s
circumstances changed, and without
bursary support she would not have
been able to continue her education
at Sevenoaks. Based upon her GCSE
performance and her wholehearted
participation in school life, the school
awarded a bursary to cover the
remaining fees.
‘I am extremely grateful for the gift of
a bursary – it made me appreciate
the chance I had been given and
encouraged me to work harder.
With the support of my friends and
teachers I was able to aim higher. It’s
important that Sevenoaks should
not only be an option for those who
can afford it, and bursaries are a
great way of inspiring people who
might not otherwise think to apply
for a place at a leading IB school.
The benefit of the school being
more accessible is that it attracts
people from different backgrounds
and creates a far more interesting
environment.’
In addition to her studies, Sophie was
a member of the squash and tennis
teams and worked for Charity Action.
She achieved a high IB Diploma score
and went on to study Psychology at
the University of Edinburgh.

Donor perspectives
Guy and Julia Hands
Current parents
Glenn Earle
Former parent
The Hands Family Scholarship
has so far had three recipients,
each receiving a bursary for the
full seven years of a Sevenoaks
School education.
Glenn Earle holds Board or
Trustee positions at Fiat Chrysler
Automobiles, The Royal National
Theatre and Teach First and
has spent more than 30 years
in Finance. Glenn and his wife
Phyllida’s two daughters Ginevra
and Lulu were educated at
Sevenoaks School and are both
now teachers in the East End
of London.
‘One of the most striking things
that Sevenoaks School has
achieved is its commitment
to widening access and
diversity, primarily for bright
children in the Sevenoaks area.
Academic performance is often
more closely related to family
background than to academic
ability, limiting a student’s
opportunity to maximise their
potential. This is why we decided
to support talented students from
lower income families.’
‘Each of the bursary recipients
came from the local state
system and would not otherwise
have been able to attend the
school. It is very gratifying to
have had a meaningful impact
on their education.’
The school’s commitment to
widening access has seen
its expenditure on bursaries
significantly increase since 2004,
with one in 20 students now
receiving financial support. With
the continuing support of donors
we aim to double this by 2021.

Sevenoaks School Foundation Donor Impact Report 2014
‘The lack of social mobility in this
country is a huge issue. Many
steps need to be taken to address
this. Two things, though, are crystal
clear: firstly, education is absolutely
critical in unlocking potential and
secondly, educational opportunity
is not fairly distributed.’
‘I sense that Sevenoaks is an
excellent institution that wants
to do the right thing and has a
strong meritocratic ethos at its
heart. Phyllida and I wanted to
help Sevenoaks do its bit for social
mobility through education by
giving the opportunity for some
bright young people who wouldn’t
otherwise have the chance to
experience the first-class and
life-changing education that
Sevenoaks can offer.’
To encourage other donors to
help, Glenn and Phyllida set up a
Challenge Fund offering to match
donations up to a total value of
£100,000. The school community
responded, surpassing this target,
which has opened up more
opportunities to offer bursaries.
Thank you for
making a difference

Sevenoaks School Foundation
supports the development and
advancement of Sevenoaks School
through major capital projects, the
widening of access via bursaries
and the establishment of an
endowment for future generations.
The Foundation is governed by an
independent board of Trustees,
which consults with the Head and
Governors to determine the key
priorities. Its primary source of
income is the rent paid by the school
for use of the main campus and
buildings from which it operates.
The Foundation has already funded
two of the most significant changes
to the campus environment in the
school’s history.

The Space, a world-class
concert venue, opened
