KPS Prospectus 2024-25

HEADMASTER’S WELCOME

In choosing an independent secondary school, I know from first- hand experience that parents are looking for the educational provision that will best suit their child as a unique individual.

When you visit Kensington Park School you will see that we are a unique independent, co-educational day and boarding school offering a highly personalised education to pupils from age 11 to 18 right in the heart of London: KPS Senior School for pupils aged 11-16 is next to Kensington Gardens and KPS Sixth Form is next to the Natural History Museum. We identify and develop the individual talents and all-round potential of every pupil and work to ensure that they flourish and make rapid progress in our overtly holistic environment. This strong sense of purpose and inclusive ethos across both teaching sites means every student in our care is known and valued as a vital part of the KPS community. Academic life at KPS is based on our innovative knowledge-and-skills-rich curriculum that covers all the traditional core and option subjects studied in larger settings through KS3, GCSE, and A level.

Our subject-specialist teachers are selected for their expertise and ability to inspire pupils’ curiosity and love of learning. Teaching and learning occur in small-class groups, creating a tangible sense of focused engagement. Whether in the classroom, laboratory, art room, or theatre, this leads to a very full and deep experience and understanding of each subject, allowing pupils to develop a distinctive personal confidence in their thinking, ideas, and powers of expression. The wide-ranging co-curricular enrichment programme of creative arts, sport, and cultural capital is also central to a KPS holistic education and takes full advantage of the unrivalled learning opportunities afforded by our central London location. It is a privilege to be leading this ambitious, inclusive, and welcoming school community, and I look forward to meeting you at an open event or for a personal tour where you can see the school, its pupils, and staff in person.

Headmaster Mr Antony Faccinello MA (Oxon), PGCE
