Kingswood is a school like no other, with an abundance of outdoor learning space and boundless opportunities. Here we celebrate individuality and uniqueness in an unrivalled woodland setting in one of the safest cities in England.
We are a thriving co-educational day and boarding school welcoming pupils between the ages of 9 months and 18 years, with boarders from age 11. Situated on a magnificent 200-acre site overlooking The World Heritage City of Bath with access to great transport links to London and major airports.
The ethos of Kingswood is very much that of a boarding school with a wide range of opportunities available to all pupils both during the school week and at weekends. Boarders benefit from the advantages which having such strong links with the local community bring, whilst day pupils benefit from the exceptional pastoral care and extensive activity programme which the boarding community is able to provide.
We believe in nurturing young people as individuals, encouraging our pupils to believe in themselves, in helping them to discover new talents and in supporting them to achieve the very highest standards in everything they do. Our central focus will always be on what is best for the individual and a flexible curriculum allows us to respond to individual needs and ensure these important years of secondary education are fun and exciting as well as challenging and formative.
Our extensive co-curricular programme offers over 100 activities a week. On-site activities include early morning yoga, swimming, tennis and cricket, evening floodlit hockey or tennis, PE, community games and music practice. Weekends for Boarders are jam packed with fun-filled activities, combining adventures such visiting Longleat and Cotswold Water Park, with some much-needed downtime to relax and unwind. This is part of our commitment to mental health and children’s well-being and staff are working hard to develop our skills in mindfulness in all our pupils.
The Sixth Form at Kingswood is a supportive and caring environment, offering encouragement and guidance at every step. Our flexible academic curriculum programme is tailored to each student, whilst the breadth of our co-curricular offering means that there is something for everyone, from the extensive co-curricular activities, to Model United Nations and academic societies. We encourage our students to involve themselves in all aspects of school life and to develop the qualities of leadership, independence, self-reliance and respect for others. Service is central to our vision of leadership, and our charitable and mentoring activities provide further opportunities for our Sixth Formers to give back, both locally and further afield.
In this environment, pupils achieve astonishing successes as they constantly progress well beyond their natural potential while also making a real difference to others.
