Shining a Light on The New Beacon
At The New Beacon – an independent day and boarding prep school for boys aged 4-13, with a co-educational nursery for children aged 2-4 – we provide an academically ambitious and stimulating education, supported by outstanding pastoral care.
Boys benefit from more than 50 co-curricular activities, including music, drama and art, helping them discover interests, build confidence and pursue passions that can last a lifetime. Sport is a key part of school life, with pupils representing The New Beacon in rugby, hockey, football and cricket, alongside activities such as golf, squash, rifle shooting, swimming and many more.
Our boys move on to a wide range of highly prestigious senior schools, many with scholarships. While our partnership with Tonbridge School brings many benefits, our priority is always finding the right senior school for every child.
Join us for our Whole School Open Morning on Friday 15 May, 9.30-11.30am. Tour our facilities, meet our inspiring teachers and discover how we nurture curiosity, character and a lifelong love of learning. Book your place here:
