School life

Wisdom

We offer a broad and balanced curriculum which prepares children for life. Alongside academic subjects pupils are taught essential life skills and encouraged to respect themselves and each other. Pupils spend time studying the Bible, discovering God’s relevance to their lives and praying together, while the PSHE programme covers a range of issues including health, sex education, problem solving and life skills.

Stature

Pupils are encouraged to make good choices, to persevere and to be resilient. We want pupils to adopt a positive attitude to any challenge that they face whether it is to attempt a difficult task or master a new skill. We value effort over achievement and pupils learn the importance of not giving up and running ‘with perseverance the race that is set before us.’

Favour

Pupils learn the importance of developing good relationships. Speaking well of each other and treating others kindly are high priorities within the school. Pupils are taught how to appreciate each other, often building friendships for life. They are also encouraged to accept differences, resolve conflict and to forgive one another. Having Primary and Senior pupils together on one site allows the development of friendships across the age range, with older pupils supporting younger ones and creating a strong sense of family within the school.

Pupils are encouraged to live lives that are pleasing to God and to grow in their relationship with Him through worship, prayer and Bible study, building solid foundations for the future.

The School’s assessment process allows for targets to be set for Wisdom, Stature and Favour. Future plans are woven into these aspirations and monitored alongside the rest of the curriculum programme.

"Anyone considering The King’s School for their children, will be making the best decision they have ever made for their academic, spiritual, emotional and social growth. Both my children attended the school and I have no doubt that the environment and staff played a key role in their development to encounter and thrive in the world."

Mrs Pole

"My son joined The King’s School in Year 2. The teachers, right from the start, identified his needs and made recommendations to assist him – provided us with guidance and support throughout, which made such a huge difference to my son who needed both behavioural and educational support"

Mrs Hamilton

"We've been part of The King’s School family for 7 years. We've seen our children grow in stature, maturity and their own personal faith. At no other school will you ever be given a prophetic word or verse of Scripture for your child! They're loved, cherished and valued by ALL the staff as if they were their own children."

Mrs Boxall

"The King’s School has been a huge blessing to us and our children. They love learning here, they love the teachers, they love the atmosphere. We’d recommend it to anyone."

Mr Hicks

"The King’s School's been an amazing experience for not only our children, but for our entire family. The school welcomed our family when we moved to the area, other parents and children were incredibly supportive and kind, and we instantly felt at home."

Mrs Shergill

"The King’s School is beautiful, inside and out! Every day our daughter learns so much more than just phonics and maths, she learns who she is and what she can do as an individual, and this school not only allows her to do this but encourages and supports her in every aspect."

Mrs Price

"The King's School is incredible. The staff are amazing and really care about & know all the children so well. Our girls have come on in leaps & bounds since joining. We love the atmosphere and the whole ethos. Couldn't imagine them being anywhere else now. "

Mrs Mullane

"Fantastic School. I have 1 in senior in his last year, and 2 in primary. The communication between staff and parents is very good. The kindness shown by staff throughout the primary school clearly inspires the pupils to emulate this towards each other. Highly Recommended."
