Aims of Kingshill School The school is a caring community of children and adults. Each individual should make a contribution to the life of the school and in turn may expect from it help and support. There are six basic aims: To develop those skills which are necessary for life - in reading, writing, speaking, comprehension, computing, in physical and manual dexterity and in study methods such as individual research and co-operating with others. To help pupils derive pleasure and fulfilment from work in its widest sense and to enable them to obtain those formal qualifications, within the limits of their abilities, which are necessary for employment and further education. To develop an understanding of the world of work with all its implications. To enrich the lives of pupils, by stimulating their interests, widening their horizons and giving scope for creative activities in anticipation of increased leisure time. To help pupils understand themselves, those around them and giving scope for creative activities in anticipation of increased leisure time. To help pupils grow into mature, moral people who are able to discuss what is good, true and of value, who will appreciate spiritual as well as material matters and who will strive to make the world they inherit a better one.  Ethos of Kingshill School  The School Ethos is:- Show RESPECT to all pupils, staff, personal property and for our school. All pupils are EQUAL and deserve equal attention. LISTEN to each other and value everyone’s contributions. Come to lessons EQUIPPED and READY to learn. HELP each other learn.

Cirencester Kingshill School is “Striving for Excellence” in accordance with the school’s motto. We set extremely high standards for our teaching and for pupil achievement. We also expect pupils to set themselves challenging targets and take great pride in the excellent results they achieve. Personal support and guidance is given through our extensive pastoral system, which enables our pupils to achieve their individual goals. We place great emphasis on pupil achievement, not only in the curriculum but also in extra-curricular activities. An extremely wide range of extra-curricular activities and leadership opportunities are offered to our pupils. Kingshill School is a Specialist Sports and Science College offering extensive choices in these subjects. However, we ensure that every child has access to a broad and balanced curriculum in all subjects. Cirencester Kingshill School offers excellent working relationships between pupils, parents, staff, governors and the wider community. This creates a unique environment, which encourages our pupils to develop into caring, well balanced and confident young adults, who are able to seize every opportunity to maximise their potential.
