Students play an active role in the religious life of the school, saying daily prayers, taking part in worship, attending special services at St Thomas’ Church and other liturgical/spiritual events. There is an obvious nurturing ethos within school. Both staff and students show mutual admiration and respect for each other and this results in a very positive atmosphere around the whole school. Visitors frequently share that the school is calm, orderly and welcoming. There is a relentless focus to improve the experience learners have of all subjects due to the drive by leaders and staff to deliver the very best they can for their students, which includes our very own demanding “King’s Standards” for classroom practitioners. Extra-curricular opportunities exist for all students, with an extensive timetable available at lunchtime, after school and at weekends. The school is proud to hold the Silver School Games Award, the Silver Music Award and is a recognised centre for the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Students are taught by teachers who are experts in their field; we are proud to count two National Teaching Leaders, three Specialist Leaders in Education and several GCSE examiners amongst the teaching body. The King’s ¦ Excellence
