The New Beacon Preparatory School is an independent all-boys preparatory school, located at Sevenoaks in the English county of Kent. It admits both day students and boarders aged between 4 and 13. The school also now offers a co-educational nursery for children 3 years of age and over. The school was founded in 1863, and has been on the current site since 1900. It had 62 students in 1913, and had grown to 400 students by 2008.[1]

(The school's History webpage suggests Constantine was headmaster from 1976 and served 32 years, so when "numbers grew to reach four hundred with excellence at Common Entrance and Scholarship examinations being maintained" that would be 2008.)
