Kent College Canterbury Junior School
Canterbury
Set in 14 beautiful acres just outside Canterbury, Kent College Junior School and Garden Cottage Nursery provide a warm, nurturing and ambitious education where every child is truly known.
Small class sizes, specialist teaching and a personalised approach allow us to understand each child’s strengths and interests, providing the right balance of challenge and support. Alongside strong academic foundations, children enjoy outstanding opportunities across music, sport, art and drama, complemented by around 50 clubs and activities.
Our caring community helps children develop confidence, curiosity, kindness and independence, while KCConnected encourages an outward-looking perspective and a sense of belonging to our wider Kent College community.
For many families, this is the beginning of a longer journey, with children progressing seamlessly from Nursery through Junior School to Kent College Senior School and Sixth Form, growing within a community that knows and supports them every step of the way.
