We are all immensely proud of our wonderful school. Established just over a decade ago, KPS has grown to become a large primary catering for 420 children from Reception to Year 6, with an attached 60 place nursery.
We know that children need to feel safe, happy and secure in their learning: this element is central to our philosophy and fundamental to the relationships we develop.
Children and families are at the centre of everything we do: our pastoral and teaching teams develop trusted and supportive connections with parents to ensure the best starting point for the children to realise high levels of achievement in their lives.
The integrity of the school team was recognised by Ofsted, who rated the school as 'Good' in all areas following their visit in February 2022.
