The Curriculum

Our curriculum far exceeds the national average and prepares all pupils for their 11+ examinations in Year 6. The curriculum is underpinned by the school’s aim to see every child as an individual, championing curiosity, creativity, confidence and collaboration across all areas of school life and learning.

Co-Curricular

KGPS provides an excellent and specialist co-curricular provision in Languages, Art & DT, Music, Computing, Drama and Sports. We also offer full wrap-around care from 8am – 6pm. Including an extensive and wide-ranging extra-curricular club and trips.

Pastoral Care

At KGPS, every staff member knows every pupil and the strong relationships across the whole-school community are evident in both impressive pupil outcomes and the happiness of staff, pupils and parents. Our ‘Open Door’ policy reflects a genuine partnership between teachers and parents and we collaborate to ensure our pupils are motivated to learn and happy in their environment.

Head Teacher’s Philosophy

Children thrive in an environment where they feel safe, happy, respected and inspired. Excellent education must reach beyond a prescribed knowledge-based curriculum and challenge pupils to ask questions, think in an abstract and critical way, nurture adaptable mindsets, and an independent and articulate voice. The school culture should embrace who the child is becoming while they succeed and achieve academically and flourish pastorally.

Outstanding Characteristics

The school is located in an idyllic  setting. Located moments from the Royal Botanic Gardens and the River Thames.  Our nursery, opened in September 2022, is located close by. Our ‘Through Schools Policy’ means that, in all but exceptional circumstances, we can automatically offer pupils from our Preparatory schools entry to the Senior Schools within the Gardener Schools Group.
