Kingsthorpe College is an oversubscribed 11-18 Academy with approximately 1400 students on roll (200 students Post 16). We were graded by Ofsted as Good in all areas in December 2019, and we are now looking forward to the next stage of our journey from good to great.
In September 2021, we joined Orbis Education Trust, and this has unlocked further possibilities for colleagues to develop, progress, and make a significant contribution to inspiring the students within our schools. We therefore believe it is an exciting time to join #TeamKC and be part of a community which is resolute in its drive to help our students leave with the confidence and skills to be able to take part in the great conversations of our times.

Our Ethos and Culture
A genuine commitment to respect for individuals is shown in the daily life of Kingsthorpe College. One of the first things you notice when you walk into College is how nice everybody is to each other – how frequently people smile, share a friendly joke, take an interest in each other and find something positive and encouraging to say. It is also a very calm, relaxed place – not because there is never any noise (!) but because we make a point of ‘not shouting’.
Young people hate being shouted at (so do adults actually). It makes it harder for them to listen and respond positively. We believe that people choose their own behaviour and making the right choice is sometimes easier for some than others – but everybody chooses. Students at Kingsthorpe College appreciate the fact that, as a College, we are extremely fortunate that our young people usually make the right decision. They are very well behaved so that every minute of every lesson is made to count.
Staff at the school also understand that people appreciate being noticed for doing the right thing. We therefore make a point of praising and rewarding at every opportunity so that students feel good about themselves as often as possible. This goes for the staff too!
Our shared values of Aspiration, Responsibility, Respect and Care
