In Kingswood School's own words
At Kingswood, we put SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural) education at the heart of school development; thinking about the people we aspire to be, the world we aspire to create and the education we aspire to provide. It encompasses personal development across the whole curriculum.
Through our 5 core values, we encourage students to accept responsibility for their behaviour, show initiative, and to understand how they can contribute positively to the life of the school and the wider society.
The children develop their respect and awareness of democracy here in Kingswood when they participate in the democratic process by annually voting for School Council representatives and House and vice captains. We also have Peer Mediators and Play Leaders who promote and develop other aspects of Kingswood life.
Through our wide and varied extra-curricular clubs, visits and activities, we enable students to develop their self-knowledge, self-esteem, self-confidence and respect for others.
