What The Good Schools Guide says..
Many parents have Mediterranean roots (Turkish, Spanish, Greek, Italian, Cypriot) and a firm belief in family, and the school reflects those values.

Head
Since March 2020, Perran Gill, acting headmaster. He is a familiar face at Keble, having been the deputy head since 2014.

Special Education Needs
Keble has a small team of professionals who support children with additional needs. These include three dyslexia-trained part-time teachers and learning support teaching assistants for Years 1 to 4. Support in the senior school is reduced and generally in-class. Children with a diagnosed need have a pupil passport with reasonable adjustments made. We support children with an EHCP, but Keble is not a specialist school and generally additional needs fall within the mild to moderate range. The curriculum is academic and from year 5 takes account of the Common Entrance syllabus. The emotional well-being of all pupils is a key aim at Keble and is supported by the whole school ethos, PSHE syllabus and additional social skills input and support groups.
