Our Family of Schools

Sutton Valence School, Kent

Sutton Valence School is a co‑educational day and boarding school set in the Kent countryside, offering education from Nursery through to Sixth Form. Our Prep and Senior Schools work closely together, creating a strong, continuous journey where pupils are known well, supported carefully and encouraged to develop confidence, independence and curiosity. Shared values, a close community and a broad curriculum underpin life across the School.

UWGCF Foundation, UK

Sutton Valence School is part of The United Westminster and Grey Coat Foundation (The UWGCF), an educational charity that supports five schools across the state and independent sectors. Being part of the Foundation strengthens the School’s long‑term stability and provides access to shared expertise, strong governance and collaborative opportunities for pupils and staff.

Alongside Sutton Valence, the Foundation includes Emanuel School, The Grey Coat Hospital, Queen Anne’s School and Westminster City School. Pupils benefit from Foundation‑wide initiatives such as athletics events and academic competitions, which encourage collaboration, challenge and shared achievement across schools.

Formed in 2019 through the merger of two historic foundations, UWGCF builds on a long tradition of educational excellence. It supports its schools through shared professional development, best practice, and practical logistical and financial guidance, creating a collaborative environment that benefits both pupils and staff.
