Ignite YOUR POTENTIAL

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL The Kingswood community is called to develop confident, compassionate, enthusiastic young people who enjoy working with others and are pre-eminently prepared to lead meaningful lives.

There is much which makes Kingswood distinctive, from our staggering range of co-curricular opportunities, outstanding academic achievement, beautiful site and warm community, but it is perhaps the constructive, open and trusting relationships between our staff and young people that is most commented on. Our talented teachers are dedicated to guiding each pupil on this leg of their journey. Our reputation is as a school where pupils learn as much outside the classroom as within it, influencing the character development of our pupils and helping to inform impressive personal qualities.

Please come and visit us where you will be warmly welcomed.

Andrew Gordon-Brown Headmaster of Kingswood Senior School | Principal of the Kingswood Foundation

“It comes as no surprise that Kingswood is the go-to school in this slice of south-west England. The all-through, Bathbased co-ed is the epitome of a polymath (school)...”

“A busy happy school for active youngsters willing to throw themselves into all the School has to offer. Fine academics come as a result of fine teaching, fine tuning and exceptional pastoral care.”
