Infant & Junior Division Review

GSG view

"There is a buzz throughout King's which resonates with the sheer fun and enjoyment of learning in just about every subject we saw. From the lovely pre-school through to year 6 every child we met was engaged in something productive. We were particularly struck by the use of its great new building, there isn’t a wall unadorned by pupils' writing, project or art work. Pupils' sense of ownership of the space and pride in their work is obvious.

"Mrs Cookson, Principal, says she is certain that the offer King’s makes has to be head and shoulders above other schools both in the classroom and the co-curriculum. Our visit convinced us that this is being achieved here."

"King’s has a super creative and integrated curriculum which will certainly broaden young minds. Staff give their all and the children are delightful. Above all it’s simply great fun and we don’t think there is much more you could ask for in a junior school."

Senior Division Review

GSG view

"We were seriously impressed both by the King’s campus and the excellent range of opportunities on offer. Pastoral care and support for SEN sang out too, as did the bright, enthusiastic pupils and very committed staff. With ever improving outcomes and a great all round offer this school is well worth consideration."

"The learning spaces at King’s are, bright, modern, airy and spacious. There’s plenty of room to learn, to move around and to socialise. The library is at the heart of the school with a sixth form mezzanine for private study, its own garden area and home to a well-equipped careers office.  This is a programme of outdoor and adventurous learning for pupils from reception through to Year 8 and is tied to key areas of the national curriculum. It aims to develop resilience, communication, selection, collaboration, respect and personal growth."
