Kings Norton Girls' School and Sixth Form

[EduCativ]

At KINGS we provide aspirational opportunities for every one of our girls to achieve the highest possible academic standards and to develop the life skills and confidence to succeed as young women in the modern world.
We offer an all-round education which enables each girl to find her strengths and direction in life, whatever her talents, expectation or needs. We take pride in our one-hundred-year roots, in our present, and our future, ensuring that girls are always a part of our community and play a part as citizens within their community.
We provide a caring, relaxed yet purposeful environment in which girls can thrive. We value the richness that the arts, sciences, humanities, and enterprise subjects bring to a balanced education and our experience as a specialist college has given us particular strengths in languages and sport. We strive at all times to ensure the highest quality academic and enrichment experiences and opportunities.
At Kings Norton Girls’ School, each student’s current skills and levels of attainment are assessed on entry through reading, comprehension, and spelling tests, Midyis, and PASS data. We use this information, with any other information from previous schools, to decide whether students require Special Educational Needs or Disability (SEND) support. Through regular assessment, we can identify students who are making less than expected progress for their age and individual circumstances.
Kings Norton Girls’ School offers an exciting and innovative curriculum from Year 7 to 13. The curriculum is designed to meet the needs of all students, developing their knowledge and understanding in a range of subjects and honing their skills so that they become successful independent learners during their time at school and beyond.
At Kings Norton Girls’ School curriculum departments are arranged into seven faculties: English, Maths, Science, Arts, Humanities, Modern Foreign Languages, and PE. English, Maths, PE, and Modern Foreign Languages are single discipline faculties, the Arts, Humanities, and Science are multidisciplinary.
Life at school for a Kings Norton Girl is diverse, exciting, and full of opportunity. Learning is central to all that we do but there’s so much more than just lessons. During a girl’s life at the school, between years 7 to 13, all girls will have opportunities to participate in educational visits both in the UK and abroad, join one of over forty extra-curricular clubs, gain leadership experience, take part in our exciting cross-curricular or health days and play an active role in supporting the success of their house.
Everyone can improve intelligence and the ability to learn. Intelligence and learning are not fixed but being open to challenges, resilient in the face of setbacks, and putting in the individual effort will help us to develop. We will help your daughter to adopt this growth mindset and show parents how they can also help to do this.
