A message from Sarah Diggle, Chair of Governors

Thank you for your interest in Kingsmeadow Community School.

We are extremely proud of our school. It is a very exciting place to learn for students and staff. New developments are becoming well established, taking the school forward to achieve its ambition of becoming an outstanding school and provide a world class education for its students.

An innovative curriculum, effective teaching strategies and strong pastoral care continue to raise standards and ensure students become confident, lifelong learners.

Governors and senior leaders are united in their aim that each individual student achieves their maximum potential regardless of prior achievement.

Behaviour and pastoral care are exemplary. The school has an inclusive ethos and the gap between the achievement of Pupil Premium students and others is narrowing year on year.

A very clear vision and school improvement plan all help staff to have clear aims and targets. Our teamworking is well developed, with staff learning from and supporting each other, and there are opportunities to develop leadership skills. Staff are very well supported through performance management and a focused, relevant CPD programme which meets individual as well as whole school needs.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the team and help shape the future of our school. I urge you to visit us to learn more and to see our excellent modern facilities first hand.

Sarah Diggle, Chair of Governors
