We are proud of the high standards we set for the pupils and staff. Through an innovative approach we ensure that the children can be the best they can be. We place equal emphasis on academic achievement, personal development and sporting achievement to name but a few. We run an impressive Pupil Responsibility programme in which children take on jobs across the school in addition to being famous for our Annual Summer Music Festival – it could rival Glastonbury!
Every child at Kenningtons is treated as an individual, and we do all within our powers, and sometimes out of our powers, to offer a bespoke experience. As a result of this pupils at our school do well and are ready for the next phase of education.
