They are strong communicators, responsible citizens and ambitious achievers who carry a strong sense of value with them for life. As Ofsted have stated, “pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is outstanding. They develop into mature and reflective young adults who show a strong sense of responsibility and a genuine concern for others.”

All staff work towards setting achievable targets for pupils and regularly review them, in order for each individual to observe and learn from their tangible progress and move forwards to even greater accomplishments. Our academic results consistently improve due to our ambitious and dedicated staff, the hard work of pupils and the support of their parents.

The school contributes to and benefits from partnerships that ensure the best in teaching and learning, such as SSAT and TEEP, and is committed to the continued professional development of all its staff.
Kingsford is a place that transcends the classroom.

For us, learning does not stop when the bell goes. Pupils enjoy access to a vast array of learning resources, and carry a strong sense of belonging and value that shapes their future as culturally conscious individuals.
