"We seek to hold in tension the traditional and the contemporary. We believe that ‘traditional’ subjects such as Mathematics, Science, English, History, and Latin should continue to form the backbone of a strong modern education. "Also, we seek to embrace contemporary changes in the curriculum, which is why you will also find subjects such as Computing, Psychology, and Economics on offer. You will also find a strong emphasis on learning languages at Kingswood. We believe that language learning is excellent for the mind, as well as for developing our pupils’ sense of their place in a big world.
