Our approach to learning

Good teacher-to-pupil ratios ensure that every child is treated as an individual, enabling all teaching staff to identify the next steps in each child’s learning journey. All of our Junior School classes are taught by experienced teachers, with additional support from highly qualified EYFS practitioners or Learning Support Assistants.

Pupils also benefit from specialist teaching, which develops as they progress through their educational journey at Kingshott:

• Reception to Year 2 – Pupils are taught primarily by their class teachers and benefit each week from subject specialists in French, Performing Arts, and Sport.

• Year 3 – Pupils enjoy six different specialisms: Art, Design and Technology, Drama, Languages, Music and Sport.

• Year 4 – Further specialist teaching is introduced for Computing.

• Years 5 and 6 – Pupils benefit from eight subject specialists as they begin to study Food and Nutrition.

From Years 3 to 6, pupils experience a unique blend of classroom teaching and subject specialist input – both in their own classrooms and in specialist areas. They benefit from the educational continuity of a class teacher who knows them best, pastorally and academically, while also accessing dedicated facilities for Music, Drama, Sport, Design and Technology, Food and Nutrition, and Art.

All subjects are further supported and enriched by a full programme of class and year group trips, events and visits designed to bring learning to life and provide enjoyable, stimulating experiences.
