A very warm welcome to all of our students and families, both old and new, and to anyone looking at our website and thinking about Kings as an option for their children.
Kings is a thriving, positive and inspirational place to learn. We have an exceptional staff body who are committed to the school and the families we serve. In the last few years, they have won national recognition in the Teacher of the Year awards, written successful educational books and delivered training to colleagues across Surrey and beyond.
There continues to be significant investment in our facilities, with new Science labs, fully equipped commercial level gym, baseball diamond and excellent 3G, drama and dance spaces, all set in an clean and green environment.
Our curriculum remains academically focused, with new GCSE courses embedded in all subjects. Whilst challenging, they offer the rigour and opportunities for personal growth that are wanted by students, parents and teachers alike.
Our daily timetable with longer lessons provides us with the chance to increase the depth of our studies and a greater opportunity for practical work to sit alongside academic focus. They have been both popular and highly successful at accelerating the progress and outcomes of students throughout the school. Our outgoing year 11 students leave with the high level results their work and aspiration has deserved. They also head into the wider world as decent, kind and knowledgeable young adults with optimism and ambition for the future.
Our Excellence Awards, presented in partnership with the University of Surrey, continue as we focus on rewarding students for reaching new heights right across the curriculum. These awards are now embedded in our culture and it is wonderful to see the calibre of work being produced. It really does demonstrate just how far every individual can go with encouragement, hard work and drive.
We continue with our national award winning alliance with the University of Surrey and the Royal Grammar School. With a calendar full of learning, experience and fun ahead, I am excited about the opportunities that are available to our students.
Kings is an innovative and inspirational place to study and for children and staff to thrive. We look forward to welcoming you.
