"I am delighted to welcome you to E-ACT The Kingfisher School. Working together with other Trust schools we are committed to providing each child with an exceptional education in an empathetic, supportive environment.

The Kingfisher School provides education from Nursery through to Year 6. Since September 2018, we have been housed in our brand new school build which provides amazing facilities for all our pupils from Nursery to Year 6.

Working together we will ensure that the values on which the school is founded drive our development forward so that The Kingfisher School offers children the strongest foundation for learning."

Vision and School Values:

Our values of 'Work Hard, Be Kind, Have Courage' underpin everything that we do in school.

• Work Hard: We embrace challenge and show determination to achieve.

• Be Kind: We show compassion towards others and demonstrate respect as a school community.
