Sevenoaks School is a public school. It is co-educational, a private boarding and day school, located in Sevenoaks, Kent, England.

Established in 1432, it is the second oldest non-denominational school in the United Kingdom, only behind Oswestry (1407). It is among the UK's leading schools, and has annual boarding fees in excess of £42,000, making it one of the most expensive schools in the country. It is a registered charity.

As of 2025, it is among the top 5 International Baccalaureate schools in the United Kingdom, and top 15 in the world.

Around 1,200 day pupils and boarders attend, ranging in age from 11 to 18 years. There are approximately equal numbers of boys and girls. In 2006 it became the first major UK school to switch entirely from A level exams to the International Baccalaureate.
