Dover, Kent, South East · CT15 4FB

Beech Grove School is a small Christian independent school in Dover, with just 81 pupils on its roll. Its intimate scale means each child is well known to staff, and the boarding provision allows it to draw families from beyond the immediate area.

Under the leadership of Head Mr Jeffrey Maendel, it offers a faith-informed education in a close community setting.
