Welcome to Kingsley
Here at Kingsley School we do everything in our power to discover, nurture and celebrate the talents and achievements of each of our pupils. Each and every one of our pupils is important to us – and I promise this is not just something to which we pay mere lip service. We treat every individual with understanding, dignity and respect. We are a vibrant, friendly, inclusive family school that is founded on Christian principles.
We are very proud of our teaching and learning and the excellent progress that our pupils make; many of our pupils regularly outperform their former schools’ predictions of their academic potential. Our teaching staff are talented and fully committed to helping each pupil achieve the very best that they are capable of and there is a real buzz about learning.
We are situated on a 25-acre site in a beautiful part of North Devon and we are minutes from the stunning coastline and a short journey from the beautiful countryside of Exmoor and Dartmoor. We have a thriving Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme which is very popular with our pupils and we have a huge range of extra-curricular activities including surfing, handball, hockey, rugby, football, film-making, gymnastics and judo. Our purpose-designed theatre stages a series of extremely high standard musical and drama productions throughout the year.
If that sounds like the kind of school that you want for your child, please call and arrange a visit. I look forward to meeting you.

Location, Location
Kingsley School is set in genuinely beautiful grounds. And those grounds are set in one of the most beautiful regions in the UK. Rolling green hills, a dramatic coastline with long white-sand beaches, safe for children to bathe, perfect for surfers to ride the waves, and with rugged and unspoiled Exmoor and Dartmoor to explore… no wonder North Devon attracts visitors and holidaymakers throughout the year. No wonder the list of Kingsley’s sporting and other outdoor activities is so wide and challenging. No wonder Kingsley’s parents always notice that their children have such a healthy glow at the end of every term. Latin may have gone out of fashion, but the old adage: “Mens sana in corpore sano”…“A healthy mind in a healthy body” still makes good educational sense. And Kingsley School is the perfect place to prove it.
