About:
About A brilliant independent school for children from Nursery to Sixth Form in beautiful North Devon. Story Kingsley School Bideford, a single campus co-educational Boarding and Day school for pupils aged 3 to 18, is committed to discovering, nurturing and celebrating the talents and achievements of each and every one of its pupils. This commitment makes it the ideal school for families who believe that every child is an individual, worthy of individual attention and encouragement. Perfect location Kingsley’s location in the maritime market town of Bideford, in the heart of the beautiful South West region of the UK, is almost picture-perfect: set in 25 acres of playing fields, gardens and woods, the school is a stone’s throw from the stunning surf beaches of North Devon and within easy reach of Exmoor and Dartmoor national parks. Outstanding academic performance Kingsley students consistently achieve excellent results in public examinations. GCSE results are 50% higher than the national average and more than 90% of Kingsley sixth formers go on to university. The curriculum is broad and includes Sports and creative subjects such as Music, Drama and Art. Every effort is made to enable each student to study the combination of subjects of his or her choice. Brilliant Dyslexia provision The Learning Development Centre, with a distinguished UK-wide reputation, earned and maintained for decades, is situated within – and is very much part of – Kingsley School. Three members of staff ensure that our dyslexic students achieve their full potential - which is often way beyond previous expectations – and are totally integrated into every aspect of school life, inside and outside the classroom. The Director of the Grenville Dyslexia Centre, Mandy Bateman, is always happy to answer questions and offer advice. Extra-curricular activities Matching the breadth of the academic subjects is an exceptional range of sports and other activities available to every student of every ability level. Many of the outdoor activities take advantage of the school’s wonderful location…surfing and rowing are extremely popular, while Dartmoor provides the dramatic setting for the annual Ten Tors Challenge. Kingsley’s netball, gymnastics and judo squads consistently win major competitions. The Kingsley Judo Academy has a unique partnership with the University of Bath, enabling Kingsley’s elite judo players to benefit from the celebrated Team Bath training resources. The school’s Drama and Music Departments stage a series of outstanding events throughout the year, while the Duke of Edinburgh Awards programme is always popular. Home from Home Boarding Kingsley Boarders enjoy excellent accommodation, good food, a secure and happy environment and a well-planned programme of social activities. Free transport is provided to and from Heathrow Airport. Everything is supervised by our Head of Boarding and his team of Houseparents and resident staff, all of whom are dedicated to providing an “extended family” atmosphere.
