What says..

As one of the new kids on the block Kensington Park is developing a positive reputation for inclusion and a more tailored approach to individuals across the academic spectrum. Purpose-built, purple seated  theatre doubles as creative hall where pupils get involved in the annual production either on stage, behind it or with sound and music. During lunch breaks the multi-purpose hall hosts games of dodgeball, table tennis and badminton, others head out for ball games across the road in Hyde Park

What the school says...

KPS is a small, independent, co-educational day and boarding school for students aged 11 to 18 in the heart of cosmopolitan central London. Our central purpose is, above all, to realise and release potential, and our students are excited, challenged, and inspired to become the best possible version of themselves.

Split across two sites on either side of Hyde Park, the Lower School (ages 11 to 15) is situated on Bark Place, while the Sixth Form (ages 16 to 18) overlooks the Natural History Museum on Queen’s Gate.

Boarding is also available to students aged 13 to 17 in the school’s state-of-the-art boarding house, located within easy reach of the school.
