Sackville School, Hildenborough, Kent

 
The warm, friendly atmosphere of Sackville is very special and we look forward to welcoming you here.

Sackville School

Sackville
, formerly Foxbush House, was built in 1866 for Charles Fitch Kemp, a London Chartered Accountant.  The Charing Cross to Tonbridge railway line was in the process of construction and the purchase enabled him to combine his London career with his ambition to be a country landowner.
He and his wife, Sarah, had ten children (4 sons and 6 daughters) and a large staff of servants and gardeners to maintain the house and its extensive grounds.  He kept a pack of harriers in kennels beyond the kitchen garden and employed his own huntsman.  He played an important role in local affairs, being the first Chairman of the Hildenborough Parish Council when it was formed in 1894 and a churchwarden from 1869 until his death in 1907.

In 1912 the estate was sold to Barnett Lewis, a wealthy diamond merchant, who installed oak panelling in several of the reception rooms.  On his death in 1929, the property was bought by Herbert Rae, whose wife's family coat of arms is on the fireplace in the entrance hall.

Sackville SchoolDuring the Second World War, the house was requisitioned as the headquarters of the 59th Newfoundland Heavy Regiment, Royal Artillery.  From 1949 to 1970 it was the Convent of Our Lady School, which had moved from Cannon Lane, Tonbridge.  In 1970, St Thomas's School moved to the site from Sevenoaks, and later became Foxbush School.  This in turn was replaced by Sackville School in 1987.
 
 

AIMS

Sackville's philosphy is simple;  what is important about a child is what he or she is good at. 

computingWhatever it is you are good at - Art or Archery, Mathematics or Music, Communication or Chemistry, Geography or Golf;  French, Film Making or Football, Dance, Design or Drama, we expect you to become very good at it.

At the same time, when areas of weakness are identified, we work carefully with the students to improve them
