The School runs a minibus service from Sevenoaks Station to the School. Several of the school minibuses make several round trips each morning between 07.45 and 08.20. As the school day begins at 08.30 sharp we ask those coming by rail to travel on trains which are timetabled to arrive at or before 08.15. There is a reduced service from the school to the station in the evening for after school activities from 16.15 – 18.00. The charge for the service for the academic year 2017 ‐ 2018 is £75 per term. This cost is added to pupilsʹ school accounts at the end of each term. Payments may not be made on the minibus. A bus pass will be issued for the current academic year. If your child no longer requires the service for any reason, such as moving house or receiving a permit to park at school, notice must be given before half‐term of the final term the service is required, and the pass must be returned to the school office. The pass will be issued during the first week of term but the minibuses may be used from the first full day of term.

A limited number of pupils may start sailing in Year 9, with training and competitions taking place at a local sailing club on Bough Beech reservoir. The school has a fleet of 26 Firefly dinghies and 23 RS Fevas, supported by four 4.8m safety boats. School teams take part in school, university and open events with a high level of success. The school has won the International Schools Championships 18 out of the last 22 years and are currently the leading British School in team racing, with the team recently qualifying to represent GBR U19’s at the 2015 team racing world championships. We have also competed on the RS Feva circuit in the last few years. The School also has excellent sailing coaches, including Head of Sailing Andy Cornah, ISAF team racing world champion 2011 and UK team racing national champion on several occasions. For pupils wishing to join sailing start in Year 9, previous experience isn’t essential but as we have a limited numbers of places, priority is likely to be given to those that do. If possible before starting pupils should complete an RYA level 2 course - there are several training centres in the area that offer this over the summer, the best being BewlV alley SC or Bewl Valley outdoor centre (details of centres can be found on the RYA website www.rya.org.uk). If you need any further help with this please let me know. In Year 9 sailing takes place on Thursdays and Saturdays during the Michaelmas, Lent and Summer Terms in the normal games sessions. Those selected to sail will not be able to play other team sports that take place at the same time. Many pupils carry on with squash, tennis and swimming, but need to do this after school. Pupils who sail are currently charged £150 per term - which equates to around £7 per session. They must also purchase their own sailing clothing which can be done independently or through the school - initially there will be clothing available to borrow. Should you wish your son/daughter to choose sailing in Year 9 please complete the attached form and return it to the school FAO Andrew Cornah, master in charge of sailing, or via email. Further information will then be sent out in due course.

Parents, guardians and students starting the school in September 2017 are warmly invited to join us for the New Parents’ Tea on Saturday 24 June 2017, 4:00–5:30pm in the Dining Hall. This very popular informal event will give you and your children the opportunity to meet other new families who are joining Sevenoaks School in September 2017. Siblings are also welcome to attend. Members of the Friends of Sevenoaks (FoS) will be there to answer any questions you may have. If you are unable to attend, for example if you live overseas, please be assured there will be plenty more opportunities to join FoS events in the future, or you can get in touch via the contact details given on the FoS pages of the school website. Although some senior staff members will be present, this tea focuses on parents and children meet- ing one another rather than providing an opportunity for parents to meet staff. Tutor meetings will take place after the children start in September. Finally, the Second Hand Uniform
