About Somerhill
Somerhill is set in a stunning 400-year-old Jacobean mansion surrounded in 150 acres of beautiful parkland. You will be hard-pressed to find a more glorious setting for a school! We have excellent facilities including a multi-purpose sports hall, astroturf, indoor swimming pool complex and purpose-built music suite to name just a few.
Ours is a mixed-ability school. Teachers really invest in the children and know them well, with lessons carefully planned to cater to all abilities.
We have very bright and capable pupils and send more pupils to grammar schools each year than any other local school. Destinations include Tonbridge Grammar School, The Judd, and Skinners. Some pupils are awarded scholarships at independent schools such as Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Walthamstow Hall and Sutton Valance at 11+/13+.
We also cater to children who find aspects of their learning more challenging and currently approximately 40 pupils receive additional support.
Located just to the south of Tonbridge, we are readily accessed by a slip road off the A21.
