Where are the skills our children will need
to mitigate the effects of war?
Well, negotiation skills are embedded in the
curriculum at Sevenoaks School, so in theory we need
look no further.
Our alumni certainly go on to achieve extraordinary
things; equipped as they are with the skills they need to
change the waiting world.
Stephen Hale for example, mastered negotiation at
Sevenoaks. He left in 1990 to work with Friends of the
Earth and Oxfam, amongst others. Now he has an OBE
and is CEO at Refugee Action, a UK charity that supports
people fleeing war.
It’s worth considering then, that many of the skills
your child may need to make a significant impact, can be
acquired here at Sevenoaks.

Every day at Sevenoaks, students practise negotiation, service provision, team working, critical thinking, creative thinking and complex
problem solving – essential skills our alumni will use to excel at jobs which have yet to be invented and to reshape their world.
