Building an inclusive KPS culture is a fundamental part of our journey. We pride ourselves on fostering an intellectually stimulating environment in which students can learn and grow, but also have fun.
Our underlying philosophy aims to prepare our students for their futures in a rapidly changing world by encouraging critical thinking, adaptability, and taking increasing responsibility for one’s own learning and actions whilst striving for personal academic excellence. The ethos of the school is built on mutual respect between staff and students alongside a strong culture of inclusiveness and openness, which also provides freedom for individual ambition and expression.
Purpose
We seek, through our personalised approach, to excite, challenge, and inspire our students to be lifelong learners, and to encourage them to become self-aware, confident, caring, and independent young people, who desire to make a positive contribution to society.
Aims
To provide a forward-thinking and outward-looking learning environment where students can discover and develop their talents.
To deliver a 21st century curriculum which promotes intellectual curiosity and creativity, and fosters a love of independent learning.
To support and challenge each individual to fulfil their potential: for each student to achieve the best version of themselves, both inside and outside the classroom.
To develop responsible and respectful citizens who celebrate community, diversity and inclusivity by adopting our school values.
To nurture independence, confidence, resilience and aspiration so that our students are ready to engage in the world beyond school and to shape their own futures successfully.
To prepare students academically, socially, physically, digitally and emotionally for their future lives in an ever-changing world.
Values
Our school values are summarised by the KPS REACH Code, which emphasises Responsibility, Empathy, Ambition, Courage, and Humility.
“Where there is much desire to learn, here of necessity will be much arguing, much writing, many opinions; for opinion in good men is but knowledge in the making. ”
