Students joining the Lower School in Years 7, 8 and 9 study a broad curriculum including English, mathematics, sciences, modern foreign languages (including Mandarin Chinese), geography, history, and religious studies as well as art, computing, drama, music, PE, and Games.
In Year 9, students begin to hone down their subjects before embarking on the full two-year GCSE/IGCSE programme in Years 10 and 11. Students will typically study 9 or 10 subjects at GCSE level. Alongside a core curriculum of English, mathematics, and science, students select from a broad range of subjects.
For international students transitioning to the UK system or for British students wishing to transfer from other educational systems or programmes of study, Kensington Park School also offers a one-year intensive IGCSE programme.
After completing the one-year or two-year GCSE/IGCSE programme, students continue their academic journey in the Sixth Form where they further narrow down their subjects on the A level programme.
Our broad-ranging and modern curriculum is complemented by our innovative co-curricular programme and tech-rich learning environment. All students in KPS Lower School have access to a personal device which allows them to engage, interact with, and connect to the wider learning community. We have a purpose-built theatre with state-of-the-art lighting and sound facilities, as well as fully equipped music and computer science rooms. Students and parents are also able to access a multitude of learning and co-curricular resources via Firefly, a collaborative online platform which can be accessed at home as well as on-site.
