Sevenoaks secondary schools

[Beepboobeep]

Looking for advice on secondary schools in the Sevenoaks / Orpington area. Not Sevenoaks School.

We live in Orpington but plan to move more Tunbridge Wells way in five years. Looking for a school our DD can get to now and in 5 yrs.

Mainly considering Radnor and Walthamstow Hall. Any other recommendations I’ve not thought of?

DD is currently in yr 5, has a borderline dyslexia diagnosis, good reader, loves writing stories but spelling is a big challenge, fairly average at maths. Non verbal reasoning a strength. Very sporty and artistic.

How hard are they to get in to? I’m not keen on
overly tutoring but not sure how much prep is enough - we are not doing the grammar 11+.

Beechwood? An Independent Day & Boarding School in Tunbridge Wells, 2-18 . It's a lovely school and takes pupils with a range of academic abilities so you don't end up with a hothouse environment but the academics are good. Great sports facilities too.

That was on our list but sadly she can’t get to it until we move

Ah okay. They do have a minibus service from sevenoaks if you were able to get her to there.
