The School

Founded in 1885, Kent College stands on a fine site of around 8 hectares overlooking the city of Canterbury. There is also a school farm on a nearby estate of around 36 hectares. In recent years there have been major developments on the campus, including a magnificent library / careers centre, new girls' boarding house, Sixth Form Centre, all weather sports pitch and a pavilion overlooking some of the playing fields which has become a cafeteria, school shop and general social area for the children.
