Who can apply to Kingshott School?
We are a co-education school open to pupils irrespective of gender, race, religion, culture, sexual orientation or disability.
We admit children with a broad range of academic ability. Consideration is given as to whether or not a child would genuinely cope with the curriculum and the School environment. Places are offered, subject to our assessment criteria, when we are confident that we can meet the needs of each individual applicant whilst maintaining the balance of needs within each year group.
My child has additional needs, can we apply for a place?
If a child has difficulties with some aspect of their learning and may need additional support or has a specific learning disability, it is important to make these known at an early stage in the admission process. Copies of recent specialist reports, such as those by an educational psychologist, should be provided to help the School make a preliminary assessment as to whether it may in principle, be able to meet the needs of the child. The School may ask for further evidence in the application process to be able to assess the child’s needs.
Does Kingshott offer Scholarships or Bursaries?
Kingshott does not currently offer Bursaries to joining families. Our bursary provision is focused on providing temporary support during times of financial hardship for current parents. Any current parent who would like to discuss this further should please contact our Bursar for a confidential conversation.
We offer Scholarships to students joining Year 7 and Year 9. Scholarships offer opportunities for students to benefit from extension and stretch activities, it does not offer a discount from fees.
