Radnor House has announced it has joined an innovative education network which serves and supports a global community.
The co-ed independent which comprises a prep, junior and senior school and is located in Sundridge, just outside Sevenoaks, is now part of Round Square – a worldwide network of 230 innovative schools which encourages a passion for experiential learning and character education.

The approach is based around six themes of: Internationalism, Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership and Service, known as IDEALS.
A Round Square spokesperson explains:
“In recognising that today’s students are the next generation of business, political and community leaders, Round Square IDEALS help to shape the way in which they understand, prepare for, and respond to the world’s challenges both now and in the future, whatever field of work or career they enter into. They can – and should – make a positive difference in the world.”
Tom Scott, Director of Global Education at Radnor House Sevenoaks, told the Times: “The potential to be part of a supportive global community is a unique opportunity. The possibility of understanding the world around us and growing our mindsets is one we truly relish. We believe that Round Square membership is an excellent step in developing truly global students.
“From Nursery to Sixth Form, boys and girls here are encouraged to explore their surroundings and develop a high degree of environmental awareness, so membership of Round Square is very fitting.”
He went on to say this autumn the school’s first cohort of Sixth Formers will attend the Round Square global conference taking place in Oxford – for the first time in person since 2019.
“Being a Round Square school has brought a palpable sense of excitement to Radnor House’s school life,” Mr Scott added.
