The View School

Kent, South East · TN8 5BD

With just 26 pupils on roll, The View School is among the smallest independent schools a family is likely to encounter in Kent. It is co-educational, non-denominational and takes pupils from age 11, with entry at the 11+ stage. The intimate scale points to a setting built around close, individual attention rather than the bustle of a large year group. Led by Head Miss Louise Bourne, the school is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.
