Headteacher’s Welcome

Welcome to Kingsdown School. We are located in Stratton St Margaret, North Swindon.

As Headteacher I am immensely proud of all the teams that support and champion our school - our teaching staff, our professional support staff, our Governors, the RLT [River Learning Trust], our parents and, most notably, our students.

At Kingsdown School, we are committed to making 3 promises to your child and to your family: 

Our Vision for Kingsdown is that it becomes - “a school of excellence bursting with pride and ambition”. In delivering this vision, our students are learning the power of learning, are equipped to achieve excellence at school and to relish a lifetime of learning that will follow. At Kingsdown, their teachers are learning ever better techniques to challenge, inspire and enrich student experiences both in and outside the classroom.

Finally, our leaders are learning to be ever better leaders.
Our Mission Statement is that “we champion each and every student”. We care deeply about the health, safety and wellbeing of each and every student. We care deeply about nurturing strong relationships between all our stakeholders.

Our school culture is underpinned by our Kingsdown BEATs in which each and every student is encouraged and supported to live up to our 6 BEATs and become the very best version of themselves.

I hope you enjoy exploring our website to gain a deeper understanding of how and why our school means so much, to so many. 

There is no better way of judging a school than making a visit on a normal school day and we are always happy to welcome visitors to Kingsdown.

We very much look forward to welcoming you to our school.

With warmest best wishes.

Mrs Leigh-Bennett
