The School
Kent College is a Christian school, although it accepts pupils of all faiths - and none. Originally established as a boys' school, it took girls into the sixth form in 1973, and since 1975 it has been fully co-educational. Kent College has thirteen independent "sister schools" in Great Britain - most of which are co-educational; three, including Kent College, Pembury, are all-girls schools - whose shared ethos and similar characteristics may be attributed to their common position within the Methodist Church.
The school's motto is "Lux tua via mea": which means "Your light is my way".
"Come on, K.C.!":
Kent College is typically referred to colloquially as "K.C." by pupils, staff and Old Canterburians; by the same token, Vernon Holme is regularly abbreviated to "V.H.".

And discipline should be in school and state....”
