As a parent with two girls at Kingswood Secondary Academy one in year 8 and the other just completed year 11, I can honestly say that I would highly recommend Kingswood to any parent. The support and encouragement the girls have received both on a daily basis and on exam levels has been tremendous. The staff are amazing always on hand to help with any problems no matter how big or small they are. Kingswood Secondary Academy is a very community spirited school and my girls have been and still are very happy there.

I would say that my journey at Kingswood has been absolutely amazing and part of this relies on the welcoming and inclusive environment of the school. The RISE values (respect, independence, service to the community and empathy) have been heavily promoted since I first started in year 7 and have really helped myself and others to flourish and represent these values to younger years. Kingswood is certainly the school for me, as the subjects provided at GCSE and A-level are highly engaging and have allowed me to be creative with my learning and prepared for life after school. Ultimately, this has made my journey in education and time at Kingswood to be very enjoyable. Lastly, the top-standard care and support provided by staff has been brilliant from my first day in Year 7, as they have helped to unlock my potential and to develop me into the young woman I have become today, ready for my next adventure.

Kingswood has been more than just a school to me — it’s a place where I’ve grown academically, socially, and personally. The supportive community and dedicated staff make every student feel valued and encouraged to reach their full potential. From the engaging lessons to the wide range of extracurricular opportunities, Kingswood truly nurtures every individual’s talents and ambitions. I’m proud to be part of a school that feels like a family and is committed to helping us succeed. Thank you for creating such a positive environment for us all.

Kingswood has been the best place for me to grow academically throughout my 6 years here. By studying criminology, business and media it's helped me develop and help shape my future goals. All the students are really kind and it's such a welcoming community to be apart of.
