Introduction

Sutton Valence School (SVS) is an independent school near Maidstone in southeast England. The school was founded in 1576 as the Free Grammar School of William Lambe in Sutton Valence. In 1983, the school became co-educational and in 1995 it incorporated Underhill Preparatory School. It is now a co-educational day and boarding school catering for pupils from three to eighteen years of age. It has local and overseas pupils. The school has gone through renovation and expansion, building a new maths block, theatre, indoor swimming pool, second astro pitch and an all-weather track and field facility. The sports hall is dedicated to Sydney Wooderson, a former pupil and Olympic athlete who held the world record for the mile. There are three senior boarding houses: Westminster, St Margaret’s and Sutton, and one junior Beresford.
