Schools in Sevenoaks

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Sevenoaks has 36 schools, with 23 primaries and 3 secondary schools administered by Kent County Council. Sevenoaks is in a selective county - Kent retains a grammar school system, and Sevenoaks town has its own selective secondary provision. Families must register for the Kent 11-plus (KS2 SEMH) by June in Year 5, with testing in September. The fee-paying Sevenoaks School is a separate independent school with its own admissions process.

For primary admissions, Kent County Council uses sibling priority and straight-line distance for community schools. Sevenoaks district is one of the most affluent in the South East, with several Church of England village primaries adding faith criteria. Non-selective secondary options in the area include Knole Academy. Families in villages towards the Tonbridge or Maidstone borders should check which secondary school's admissions zone covers their address.
