With a proven track record of helping pupils develop into well-rounded individuals with excellent academic records, the Harvey is committed to developing both academic potential and personal growth. Outside of the regular school day, the School offers a range of extra-curricular activities.

Our ethos is one of encouraging our young men to work hard, play hard and to be supportive of fellow pupils. Every pupil is given the support to identify and develop his particular talents, whether they be in the academic, sporting, creative or other fields.

The Harvey is committed to its founding principles, being to serve the brightest boys in Shepway regardless of their social background. Our ultimate aim is that all our boys enjoy their time at the Harvey, are instilled with strong community values and develop into self-assured, articulate and helpful young men, being ready and equipped to go on to the next stage of their careers.
