Kensington Park School is a co-educational day and boarding school in the heart of London where excellence is defined by the individual student.
From future innovators, inventors, leaders, and thinkers, to aspiring actors, artists, musicians, and athletes competing on the national and international stage, the school identifies and develops the talents and potential of every student in a forward-thinking and supportive academic community.
Open to students aged 11-18, it is split across two dedicated teaching sites on either side of Kensington Gardens, with the Senior School (Years 7 to 11) on the border of the royal residence and the Sixth Form (Years 12 & 13) overlooking the Natural History Museum. The school's boarding house, located within easy reach of both school buildings in Earl's Court, gives students in Year 9 and above the opportunity to live and study in central London.
Small class sizes at every level ensure teaching is tailored to students' individual needs and goals, with a broad and balanced 21st-century curriculum - including Computer Science and Mandarin introduced from Year 7 - ensuring students are prepared for the evolving world around them.
At KPS, all students are individually known, valued, and affirmed, and an attentive and discerning system of pastoral care helps to foster a palpable sense of community. Tutors play a key role in that system, maintaining regular communication with parents and guardians on their child's personal and academic development, and ensuring that the essential relationship between home and school remains active and transparent.
An extensive sports and co-curricular program complements the academic curriculum, with the school making use of several local facilities, such as the Porchester Centre, Will To Win, and the Old Football Pitches in Hyde Park, for activities including netball, football, swimming, rock climbing, and even ice-skating. A state-of-the-art theatre and creative suite offer robust facilities for music, drama, and the arts.
This combination of academic and personal enrichment, individualised support, and attentive pastoral care ensures KPS students achieve impressive academic results. Every year, the school's A-Level graduates secure places on competitive undergraduate courses at universities including Cambridge, Imperial, Oxford, St Andrews, and many of the world's top-ranked international universities.
We welcome all prospective students and their families to join one of our Open Days or arrange an individual visit to the school through our Admissions team.
