Does anyone have any direct experience of Sevenoaks school? I’ve visited and seen the facilities which are excellent. My son however isn’t at all sporty or musical. He just likes maths! He also would be unlikely to get deeply involved in extra curricular as he has his chess and clubs out of school.
What would Sevenoaks give him that a local grammar wouldn’t please? Better teaching? Better exam results?
Thank you
We know some recent Sevenoaks alumni and one current pupil. All their families love the school and what it offers. ... My main concern is the IB. Of itself, it is not enough for the leading faculties, for example Imperial Maths-Physics or Cambridge Classics. 4 A Levels gives the best preparation for this level of undergraduate degree; the IB entrants need to catch up, on both depth and breadth of core material, even though they are otherwise very well trained for university study.
