The Kingston Academy

The Kingston Academy is a co-educational secondary school that first opened its doors in 2015 and has since grown into a vibrant community of around 1200 pupils and 170 staff across all year groups including the Sixth Form. The school offers an exceptional inclusive education and is ambitious for all pupils to achieve their full potential. We place our community at the heart of everything we do and engender a strong sense of belonging. Above all, we recognize that our staff are essential to delivering consistently outstanding education and provide them with multiple opportunities for career advancement and professional development.

Rated Outstanding by Ofsted, the school has a strong reputation amongst the local community which was validated in the summer of 2022 when pupils sat public examinations for the first time. Our Year 13 students received an excellent set of A level results whilst amongst GCSE pupils the provisional progress 8 score stands at +1.07 showing that pupils received on average one grade higher than their peers nationally.

Transport links to the school are strong with a frequent bus service passing by the school gates and Kingston Station within walking distance.
