LOCATION

Tunbridge Wells is an affluent spa town, which was made fashionable in the 18th Century and remained in favour through Queen Victoria’s reign until it gained its royal title from Edward VII in 1909. Surrounded by leafy Kent countryside, the town is home to a satisfying blend of places of historical significance and high quality, independent boutique and restaurants. A stone’s throw from London, it is the ideal setting to experience English countryside with the benefits afforded by the proximity to the capital.

Central aims of Beechwood include fostering independence of thought and equipping students with the values, skills and habits that will help shape their future in a wider world. With this in mind, an extensive programme of significant extracurricular experiences is provided. This includes regular cultural excursions into London and carefully curated overseas trips to places such as Venice.

 

Beechwood carefully prepares each individual for university interviews and coaches more broadly for their next steps into Higher Education. Positions of responsibility are regularly given to the older students to encourage personal development and ultimately confident independence.
