Lead Sponsor

The University of Kent is one of the country’s leading academic institutions producing world-class research, delivering outstanding teaching and serving the communities of which we are proud to be a part.  

Established in 1965, with just 500 students, we’re now a diverse community, home to thousands of students from the UK and around the world. Our students receive a first-class academic education, with access to exceptional facilities and a range of extra-curricular activities to help them develop the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to thrive in the world. 

As a community we are committed to the transformative power of education, inspiring and supporting our students to reach their goals. Our research, the majority of which was rated world-leading or internationally excellent in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework, addresses regional, national and global challenges and is making a real difference to people’s lives and livelihoods.  

At UKAT we believe that the University of Kent is a sponsor that genuinely invests whole heartedly in its schools and wants to achieve the best possible outcomes for all of our students, parents, carers, staff and wider community. The dedication and commitment to making UKAT schools unique, outstanding and leaders in education is 100% clear in the diverse and engaging number of thoughtful advanced and intellectually challenging projects in place at the UKAT schools, making the difference in secondary education in the 21st century. 

Kent has been pivotal in the planning and overall setting of the cultural context within the UKAT schools and its wider community and continues to be a beacon of educational growth and challenge bringing long term benefits to the UKAT schools and their communities
