This reflects the relentless dedication, hard work, and ambition of the entire school community. The inspection also highlighted the school's exceptional achievements in fostering a rich, dynamic learning environment where both pupils and staff thrive.

Candidates are encouraged to view this post as a three-year development pathway to the next stage of their career rather than a limited 'insert' post. The innovative and dedicated training and CPD at Kingswood Academy is exceptional.
