Our Ethos

Achieving success and happiness through positive mental health and wellbeing

At Kingsley, we believe the foundation of every success — academic, personal, or sporting — is a young person who feels known, valued, and supported. Our core values of Appreciate, Be Active, Connect, Give and Learn run through every part of school life.

Inspired by Charles Kingsley, a North Devon author who believed in the transformative power of a holistic education, we combine modern thinking with traditional values to develop complete, compassionate global citizens.
