Kew House School takes a modern and pioneering approach to every aspect of school life.
Kew House School benefits from having a smaller student roll than many independent senior schools. This allows us to provide the flexibility and individualised attention needed to enable students to fulfil their potential.
We seek inquisitive, intelligent students displaying a recognisable talent. Although we do use entrance testing, greater emphasis is placed on an interview, work portfolios and feeder school reports. Each year group is selected as a cohort, combining a balanced mix of aptitudes and personal attributes.
We recognise and enhance the individual abilities of each child, welcoming students with varying academic profiles and placing emphasis on confidence, self-esteem and creativity. We believe this approach produces excellent academic results.
We believe in providing a rich and broad education to all students whatever their specialism, pursuing excellence in all areas whether examinable or not. Whilst we aim to achieve the highest academic results for each student, we will not serve as an examination “factory”. Our “Individuals in Society” (IS) course focuses on personal development, emotionally, practically and intellectually throughout each pupil's life at the school via regular, timetabled sessions and extensions of the school day.
The school is outward-looking, taking full advantage of the wide variety of cultural, scientific and business organisations in London as a resource for academic and non-academic learning, as well as fostering opportunities for service to the local community. Visitors regularly hold seminars and workshops at the school.
In Years 7-8, each pupil explores a wide range of core subjects including: Spanish, Design and Technology, Music, Food Preparation and Nutrition and Art along with the Humanities, Maths, English and Science. Students also study French, Latin and German, and enjoy one full afternoon of Games per week. This wide range of subjects will enable pupils to make informed choices about exam options as they move further up the school.
Options for GCSE will take place towards the end of Year 8 and be managed as part of a careers guidance programme which will support pupils in making informed subject choices.
In Years 9, 10 and 11 the core curriculum remains in place but an extensive range of challenging and stimulating subject options are available. The three year programme enables some students to ‘fast track', if appropriate.
Sixth Formers will be able to choose from a range of subjects most of which they will have studied either at GCSE or as part of the Individuals in Society (IS) course.
Our IS course focuses on personal development, emotionally, practically, and intellectually, throughout each pupil's life at the school via regular, time-tabled sessions and extensions of the school day.
