About King's Park Academy

King’s Park Academy is a three-form entry primary school for boys and girls between the ages of 4 to 11, situated in Boscombe, Bournemouth.

King’s Park Academy is part of Authentic Education and is part of 13 schools across Bournemouth and Poole.

King’s Park Academy provides exceptional care for all pupils and staff support and challenge pupils to reach their academic potential. We recognise that in order to do this the children’s social and emotional needs require special attention and we will do everything possible to remove any potential barriers to learning and future success.

We offer a safe, nurturing, respectful environment where children can build good working relationships with staff and other pupils.

Our Creative Curriculum aims to develop a thirst for knowledge and a love of learning. As the children experience success their confidence in themselves as learners grows enabling them to make excellent academic progress.

We strive to make learning engaging, and we endeavour to provide as many ‘real-life’ learning experiences as possible – making learning exciting, interesting and purposeful.  Reading is the foundation of our curriculum, and we positively promote reading for pleasure as an essential, life-enhancing skill, asking our families to support us with this at home. We want all children to become confident and independent learners with enquiring minds. At King's Park Academy, learning does not stop at the end of the school day, our children are encouraged to extend their interests through the wide range of extracurricular clubs and activities we offer, we truly believe that learning goes beyond the curriculum!

We believe that children should be encouraged to develop positive values towards themselves, each other, and the wider community of which they are part. We work together to create a school where positive behaviour is the norm, and all are treated with respect, understanding and sensitivity.

We are exceptionally proud to serve our local community and pride ourselves on the home-school relationships we create.  We acknowledge the importance of our families to the successes of our children.
