The school offers an excellent academic education while maintaining a warm, family-oriented environment. My children are very happy at the school, and I really appreciate the balance between academic excellence and the strong sense of community that makes it feel like a family.

We have four children at Kensington — three in the Senior School and one in the Junior School — and our experience has been exceptional.

We moved our children to Kensington after previously attending an American school, where we felt they were simply not being challenged enough academically.

My son has just finished his A Levels following his GCSEs at Kensington and both he and I couldn’t be more happy with his results.

Communication with parents is poor — decisions are often made without notice or consultation. The school is small, with limited facilities, and while they used to arrange access to external spaces like swimming pools or sports centres, they now do so less often. Fees increase by 5–10% each year, and new charges are regularly added, reflecting a focus on profit over students. There’s high teacher turnover, with experienced staff replaced by less qualified newcomers. Older children are often poorly treated.
