  • Candidate Information Teacher of English and Drama
    Candidate Information Teacher of English and Drama The School Sutton Valence is an independent, HMC co-educational day and boarding school situated in the heart of Kent. After several years of improving academic results, it is the School’s strategic aim to remain in the top 10% of schools nationally for added value. On average, our students will gain results at A Level that out-perform their predicted grade on entry to the School by at least 0.5 of a grade. However, whilst academic success is paramount, it is only one measure of success; equally impressive is the breadth of education on offer for our broad ability intake. Individuality, confidence without arrogance and the strength of character to meet the complexities of modern living with equanimity are the hallmarks of a Sutton Valence pupil. Founded by the philanthropy of William Lambe to educate the boys of the village, Sutton Valence remains a predominately local school, enriched by a small, but diverse, overseas cohort. The School’s roll is currently 560 of which 160 are boarders. Class sizes are small and the overall pupil-staff ratio of 9:1 enables Sutton Valence pupils to benefit from the close guidance and individual attention of teachers. The academic staff are all highly-qualified Sutton Valence subject specialists with high personal standards and expectations of their pupils’ effort and achievement. one school, many journeys Contained within the 100 acre site, there are dedicated games pitches, an all-weather playing surface, a sports centre, which contains a fitness suite, an all-weather athletics track and field sports arena and an indoor six-lane swimming pool.
