Plaxtol Primary School

Local Area

Plaxtol is situated between Sevenoaks and Tonbridge, in an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB), very much part of the Garden of England. With the river Bourne running through it and with wonderful views, the area is home to a population of just over 1000 people, with approximately 400 dwellings spanning several centuries, many of them listed buildings.

The village is a haven from the hectic modern world but is also easily accessible from the major towns in Kent and is around 30 miles from London. Our village has a strong community spirit with many active clubs and societies, such as tennis, WI, historical society, gardening society, cricket club and theatre group. There is also a pre-school (housed next to the school building), village shop, pub, butchers and an active local church.  Some residents work locally, whilst others commute to London or nearby towns. Plaxtol is a wonderful place to live and offers many opportunities for anyone wanting to settle and work in the area. 

Plaxtol has excellent transportation links. We are located 7 minutes from the M20 and M26 motorways and 15 minutes from the M25.  Rail services provide direct links to central London, within half an hour of Sevenoaks, and to Eurostar services for the Continent. 

The nearby towns of Sevenoaks, Maidstone, Tonbridge and Royal Tunbridge Wells provide excellent entertainment, shopping and leisure facilities. Bluewater shopping centre is also just 25 minutes away.

Please see our village website for more information.
