About

We are a caring and ambitious school where all children are given the confidence to achieve their potential. At Kingshott we feel education is both a personal and a collective journey of development, self-discovery and ambition. We welcome every child's unique character and approach to learning. There is no one size fits all education.

Our teachers and wider staff see all our pupils as individuals each with their own unique experiences and personalities to offer. At the core of every decision we make, lies pupil development and happiness. We aim for all our children to be confident, secure and relaxed whilst ambitious for both their own development and that of their peers, too.

We are a modern school with outstanding facilities, set within acres of land on the edge of Hitchin, Hertfordshire which inspires the staff and children alike to strive for the best. Our emphasis on a rounded education ensures our children experience the very best teaching available, whether it be through the academic subjects or our broad and comprehensive curriculum.
