Our School is situated in a beautiful, rural setting in the village of Romsley. Our success is based not only on that of those employed directly by the school, but also of our parents, local community, Governors. St Kenelm's is an open, friendly school and parents are always welcomed and encouraged to be partners in school life.
As a church school, we have a strong relationship with St. Kenelm's church community and this relationship has spanned many decades. We look forward to visiting the church once a term for Worship and we always enjoy the assemblies that our Reverend leads in school. We are an 'adopted' school of our local Moto Services. We are lucky to receive generous donations from them.
Out latest donation was of books - and lots of them! Year 6 now have a class set of dictionaries and thesaurus and the whole school have use of a class set of atlases. We have also added to our book band reading scheme with some exciting books for our higher level readers. Thank you to Moto for their continued support.
