Kingswood Primary School is a 4 form entry split-site school based in West Norwood, South London. Our Upper and Lower Sites have situated a short walk from each other on Gipsy Road. We are the flagship school of Gipsy Hill Federation, a National Teaching School, and are rated as 'Outstanding' by OfstedKingswood is an outstanding school and although this hasn’t always been the case, Kingswood is now a consistently high performing school. We share our high expectations and outstanding practice so that other schools can develop in their journey to outstanding and as such we open our doors regularly to visitors from the UK and abroad in our role as National Support School and National Teaching School.
We take this role extremely seriously because educating children and young people is a huge responsibility. Children only get one chance, so from the moment pupils join Kingswood we ensure the curriculum and opportunities we offer them are the very best, that the lessons our teachers teach are outstanding, exciting and that they challenge pupils at every level. By the time pupils leave Kingswood in Year 6, they are confident, articulate, and enthusiastic learners who have a thirst for knowledge and a motivation to learn beyond primary school into secondary school and lifelong learning.
Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. Our team works tirelessly to ensure there are no barriers to children achieving their full potential. We pride ourselves on our high-quality learning environment and resources. We invest so that our pupils understand they deserve the very best and so they can access a broad, balanced and meaningful curriculum. This includes providing a range of trips, visits, and enrichment weeks throughout the year as well as a wide range of extracurricular activities. This means that, as well as developing their academic skills, pupils develop their creativity and can express themselves well.
Our staff at every level have high expectations of themselves, our pupils and our parents/ carers. Our pupils quickly learn these expectations and are well-behaved, courteous, hard-working, and caring individuals who recognize the learning behaviors and skills they need to do their very best.
