‘Dad is really pleased with the progress that his son has made. He remarked that he is more confident with using technology at home. He can search apps for programmes.
Dad felt that the teachers at the school ‘have amazing patience’ and that his son feels safe and protected. His son now has a ‘willingness’ to learn so he is pushing himself to make progress’

As a second-year university student completing a placement at Kingsmead School, I had the privilege of seeing first-hand the transformative impact this school has on secondary-aged children. This isn’t just a school—it’s a community where staff go above and beyond to create a positive, supportive environment tailored to each child’s unique needs.
One of the standout qualities of Kingsmead is the dedication and expertise of the staff. They employ thoughtful, well-researched teaching strategies that adapt to the specific needs of every student. The focus is not only on academic success but also on building confidence, resilience, and life skills. It was truly inspiring to witness how staff members foster trust and strong relationships with students, creating an atmosphere where they feel safe, understood, and motivated to thrive.
The school’s ability to meet challenges with compassion and innovation was incredible to observe. From individualised learning plans to engaging group activities, everything is designed to empower students and help them rediscover their potential. The sense of community within the school is heartwarming; students are not just educated but genuinely cared for and it really shows.
My time here was not only an invaluable learning experience for me but also a testament to the school’s excellence in supporting and nurturing children. For any parent considering this school, I can confidently say it offers an exceptional environment where your child can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. The focus on positive relationships and high-quality teaching ensures that every student is given the tools to succeed in their own way.
Overall, Kingsmead left me with an overwhelming sense of admiration and respect. It is truly a wonderful school where students are given the opportunity to flourish, supported by a team of remarkable staff who are passionate about what they do. I would highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a nurturing and effective environment for their child.
