Our eager children have a real thirst for learning and our excellent staff team are committed and dedicated in ensuring that each and every child achieves. Thank you for your interest in Kenilworth Primary School. I am proud to be the headteacher of a nurturing school where the focus is as much on how children learn as what they learn.
We are committed to providing the best possible education supporting children to develop a wide range of skills and interests. We foster high expectations in a caring and nurturing environment. Every child matters to us and we aim to encourage children to achieve their personal best via a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum.
Children are provided with many opportunities to participate in art, drama, music and sport whilst at Kenilworth. Our committed and caring staff team work hard to make sure that every lesson is creative, challenging and meets the needs of the children effectively.
