Bethany School
Bethany enjoys a reputation as a particularly friendly and happy community. It is a strong, thriving school and recent years have seen an enviable building programme. The Head firmly believes that school should be enjoyed rather than endured and it is the atmosphere of positive nurturing and encouragement which makes Bethany ‘refreshingly different’.
"There seems to be a unique, caring and supportive environment where pupils learn to believe in themselves and to respect and support others, bringing out the best in each individual.” A Bethany parent.
Located in Kent’s ‘Garden of England’, Bethany combines an idyllic rural campus with easy accessibility. London is less than an hour by train, Gatwick Airport one hour by taxi (Heathrow 1½ hours). Each student becomes part of their own boarding house family, and benefits from a full and varied programme of weekend activities and visits.
In the Upper Sixth, students board in the purpose-built Sixth Form centre and have individual study-bedrooms with en-suite facilities. Our small classes ensure that students receive plenty of support and guidance. Over 94% of our Sixth Form leavers progress on to university courses, leaving Bethany with a mature self-confidence and clear direction.
