School Description

Kings London provides a contemporary alternative for ambitious students who are looking for a mature yet supportive learning environment. We provide a community in which students can express their own identity and explore their interests and we support them in becoming independent learners and responsible young adults. Teachers and students work together in partnership, on a first name basis without uniforms and assemblies, exploring the subject areas to gain an in-depth understanding of the course content, and to develop and apply transferable skills. Examination structure and techniques are assessed in detail, and personal strategies developed to maximise the results achieved. Learning is contextualised to facilitate understanding and provide inspiration for students in their choices for further studies and potential careers. This is augmented by a range of extra-curricular activities and opportunities to add to our students' experience and university applications. Our team of personal tutors, welfare support team and UCAS advisors monitor every aspect of our students' personal and academic development. Students are guided through their exploration of the opportunities available to them at university; identifying the most relevant options for their individual interests, learning styles and ambitions, and ensuring they are fully prepared for the application process. This includes guidance and coaching for any additional assessment or interview requirements. We provide a range of GCSE and A-level programmes to enable ambitious students to achieve their full potential and aspirations.

“Many Thanks”

unlock
"> "We remember Parmida had an interview with a medical school, but she didn't know how to prepare. Susan found out about this and bought a book about medical school interviews. We also are very thankful for what Rizwana and Gareth did for her in order to allow her to take A-level exams. Parmida learned a lot about academic writing and presentation from Tim. We remember how Nick, Rizwana, Najla and Gareth helped her with both ALF and A-level exams. Also, we are grateful to Gaston, he helped us with the payment issues. We are very thankful to Alex, he helped Parmida a lot in the application process and answered each question carefully. Parmida also told us she was supported with her visa issue by Danny. We are grateful for all her teachers; Parmida had a very great time in a very academic college which led to her progression.”
“Friendly & Nurturing Environment”

"> Kings London has helped my son improve his attitude to learning in such an important way. We chose Kings London for him because they offered small classes and an opportunity for him to study the three subjects of his choice at A level. The best thing about the school is the friendly nurturing environment, consistent teaching staff, regular progress tests and the convenient location. I would recommend Kings London to other parents because it is a realistic alternative to larger private schools which may not bring out the best in certain teenagers. The smaller international element allows the students to meet a variety of people from all over the world. Mrs B
“Helped My Daughter Believe in Herself Again.”

"> I remember very clearly the day in August when Megan and I first visited the college. Following the huge disappointment of results day, Megan was at an incredibly low point and feeling extremely let down by the system, with her self confidence shattered. The fact that Kings believed in her and were willing to give her the opportunity to retake her A-levels meant so much to her and really helped her to start believing in herself again. We are all convinced that, with hindsight, being made to retake her A Levels and spending the year at Kings may well prove to be the best thing that happened to her. Despite further lockdown restrictions and the impact this has had on teaching and exams, Megan has felt thoroughly supported and cared for by the Kings staff and has really enjoyed her time there, whilst making strong academic progress. She was overjoyed to get her results and take up her place at the University of Warwick to study EPP. She is extremely excited to be going to Warwick, a university that she had not even considered applying for previously as she knew it was so difficult to even get offered a place. Mrs Bezuidenhoudt
“Small classes sizes”

"> We chose Kings London for Josh to retake GCSEs because of the small class sizes. These have not only helped his confidence immensely but ensured that he was given the highest level of tuition possible.

“Results - without all the pressure of so many schools”

unlock
"> As a parent with 3 children who have gone through five different schools in South London between them, I can honestly say I've been more impressed with Kings London than any of the more traditional "top" schools. It's got a really modern feel and the tutors made my son feel respected and grown up. Thumbs up on academics and the refreshing approach to building up your interests and social life to get ready for uni. They get the job done but it feels less pressured because the class sizes are small and there are less school-type rules. My son was expected to work hard, but they helped him WANT to work hard too.

Meet the Head: Danny Carroll

Danny Carroll was appointed Principal of Kings London in January 2023. Danny has a wealth of experience in international education, having worked across the world as a teacher, trainer and consultant.  He has been part of the Kings London team for over 10 years, during which time he has led both English Language and Academic departments.  Danny is passionate about helping all students to develop academically and personally, and to become increasingly more intellectually curious about the world.

Who/what inspired you to become a teacher?

I first began teaching overseas, working for the British Council in a number of capacities around the world. This work gave me a privileged insight into the huge impact that good teachers can have on the lives of young people, not only in relation to knowledge and skills acquisition but also in terms of building confidence, autonomy, resilience and intellectual curiosity.

 

 

What achievement are you most proud of as Head?

I gain the greatest satisfaction from the achievements of my students and the wonderful team of teachers and other staff.  We are an aspirational community, with high standards and expectations.  We face challenges together, we learn from one another and we certainly celebrate together.  As an international school, this focus on community and togetherness is critical and something of which I am very proud.

 

What does a successful school look like to you?

A successful school has a palpable sense of relaxed urgency, it values time as the most valuable resource we have and the power of shared experiences.  In order to be successful, it is first necessary to understand and commit to one’s goals and recognise the metrics by which their completion will be measured. A successful school prizes personal bravery, open-mindedness and mutual support.  A successful school looks like a community because it is a community.

 

What is the most important quality you want every child to have when they leave your school? And why?

 An understanding that education is a lifelong process and that learning is not always about preparing for what comes next, but an experience in and of itself which should be prized as such. Seeing the world as a series of delicious questions rather than answers.
