Environmental and Sustainability Education
Environmental sustainability is the cornerstone of a Kingsley education – making the world a better place. It is seen as more than just an ethos or a philosophy, it is an integral part of Kingsley’s Expansive Curriculum.
We value our unique location in the UNESCO Biosphere of North Devon and in one of only 12 World Surf Reserves worldwide which is why environmentalism and sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.
