Devon & Cornwall's only CReSTeD accredited school
A fully inclusive approach to education
No child is left behind
Kingsley School supports children with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) which includes dyslexia, dyspraxia, discalculia, ADD, ADHD and also pragmatic and semantic learning difficulties. Core provision occurs both in the classroom and in our well-resourced SEND department, the Stella Maris Centre.
Bespoke provision for heightened Specific Learning Difficulties including ASD and Global Development Delay is available in either our Edgehill Centre for younger students, or our Grenville Centre for older students.
Quality First Teaching
Teaching to the whole class
All our staff deploy Quality First Teaching strategies to ensure that the classroom environment is a fully inclusive one, accommodating the diverse range of learning styles, difficulties and needs.
Quality First Teaching includes differentiated learning, strategies to support SEN students’ learning in class, and on-going formative assessment. A diagnosis is not always necessary as our teaching strategies already support the needs of most students.
A nurturing environment
A school where students feel they can belong
Having small class sizes allows our students to build strong relationships with our teachers and ensures that staff have more time to spend with each student, helping them to fulfil their potential. You will always be aware of the purposeful calm in the classrooms and in the corridors between lessons, where students feel safe and nurtured, both academically and emotionally.
