KCIS strives to be a place of outstanding education: we recognise and celebrate both academic and all round achievement both in teaching and learning.
We have a strict policy of a maximum of 20 students per class, with a qualified Teacher and qualified Teaching Assistant in every class.
At KCIS, we believe in student focussed interactive learning. We use a wide range of active learning methods and a diverse variety of activities and resources to provide a safe and challenging learning experience for students.
Through independent activities, students are supported to take ownership of their learning. We encourage the development of a diverse range of transferable skills and life skills that pupils are able to apply to every day life.
Students typically go on 6 field trips a year and regularly host guest speakers to provide a link and context between students’ learning , global perspectives and every day life.
Every class has space to allow for both independent group work and teacher led interventions. Teachers also utilise the beautiful learning environment of the school campus, with classes taking place both inside and outside the purposely adapted facilities.
Inclusion and Access
At KCIS, we are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming community where every child is valued and supported to succeed. We strive to remove barriers to learning and participation, making reasonable adjustments so that all students can access opportunities and feel a strong sense of belonging.
Learning Support Provision
KCIS is committed to identifying and supporting pupils with additional learning needs so they can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We work in partnership with parents and, where appropriate, external specialists to provide tailored support that enables children to access learning and participate fully in school life. Our SENCo coordinates provision, reviews progress regularly, and ensures that support is adapted to meet each child’s changing needs.
Strategic Plan 2025 – 2028
Our Strategic Plan sets out the direction of KCIS for the next three years and shapes the decisions we make each day for our children, our staff and our wider school community. It is built around five key pillars:
- Exceptional learning and progress
- A clear and distinctive identity
- Strong community, safeguarding, behaviour and wellbeing
- People and professional excellence
- Sustainable systems and innovation
At the heart of our plan is our shared purpose: to nurture confident, curious, compassionate and capable global learners. It reflects our commitment to high-quality teaching, a genuine love of learning, and a caring, inclusive school culture where every child is known, valued, and supported to be their best.
