Derwent Lodge, established in the 1930s, followed in 1993, moving from their Tunbridge Wells town centre home which they had outgrown. Somerhill Pre-Prep was established in 1995. These three schools were separate, as the Schools at Somerhill, until 2018, when we saw the potential for integrating and building one special school community with shared facilities, vision and purpose. Today, we are one thriving school. We are proud of our heritage, and we carry it with us as we move forward as Somerhill. In 2011, our mansion celebrated its 400th year. In its lifetime, it’s been through periods of growth, decline and restoration, and seen great families come and go. From the 1600s to the present day, here’s a look back at the history of Somerhill, and how it became the home of our happy, modern school.
