Cobham Hall

Discover Cobham Hall – a school like no other

Nestled in 150 acres of stunning Kent countryside but only 30 minutes from the buzz of central London; steeped in 500 years of history, yet with a curriculum firmly focused on the future: Cobham Hall is a school of many contrasts. Where else will you find sixth formers trying their hand at car maintenance while a herd of deer grazes in the background? 

The grandeur of Cobham Hall’s 16th century buildings is home to an independent school like no other. A school whose warm and caring body of day and boarding students is rooted in their local community, yet globally engaged. A school that inspires excellence, nurtures courage and self-belief, and equips young people for a future of unprecedented change.

Education for life.
A Cobham Hall education is not just about results (though the school’s are excellent) – it is an education for life. Preparing today’s students for an unknown tomorrow, and for jobs that have yet to be imagined, is a responsibility Cobham Hall takes immensely seriously. The development of essential life skills is core to the curriculum in every year group, cemented in Cobham’s bespoke Perspectives course. From creativity to curiosity, communication skills to adaptability, Perspectives lessons support each student in developing the attributes and skills they will need to thrive, whatever the future brings. 

A life less ordinary. 
Cobham Hall believes untold brilliance lies within every student and inspires each to have the courage to challenge themselves and find their own unique, fulfilling path in life. Happy young people learn, and the school ensures its core values of Trust, Respect, Honesty, Kindness and Tolerance infuse every part of their experience. In the diverse, supportive environment this creates, students feel safe to develop their curiosity and creativity; to push boundaries and discover talents they never dreamed they might have.

A world of opportunity.
With a superb enrichment programme and over 40 co-curricular activities available, from Boxing Fitness to Sushi Making, STEM Club to Creative Writing, opportunities to try the new are legion. What is more, the school forges those industry connections that really make a difference in life. Thanks to its partnership with Steinway & Sons, for example, school musicians now play the world’s best pianos and receive masterclasses from renowned international artists. Others have learnt basketball from an ex-NBA player and performed on stage alongside professional actors. And as Cobham Hall is regularly used as a filming location (recent visitors include The Crown and London Philharmonic Orchestra), students have even had chance to quiz experts from the worlds of television production, music and film. 

Our next Open Day will be held Saturday 5th October 2024.

Cobham Hall is a day and boarding school for girls aged 11 to 18, co-educational in Sixth Form. Full, weekly and flexi-boarding are available, and minibuses serve Kent and Southeast London.
