About

Beechwood is set in 23 acres of beautiful parkland in the centre of Tunbridge Wells, less than one hour from London. The school is centred on a grand Victorian Mansion built in 1855 in the style of Osborne House, Queen Victoria's home on the Isle of Wight.

Beechwood is a co-educational independent day and boarding school for children aged 3-18, which comprises a Pre-School, Preparatory and Senior School. It is a thriving, happy and purposeful place where excellence and a love of learning are nurtured. The children at Beechwood are at the heart of everything that we do.

Their enthusiasm and passions are nurtured by a dedicated team of teachers who inspire our students to give of their very best both in and outside the classroom, at school and at home.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
