About KWS School

KWS Educational Services supports children and young people who do not fit into the society model of education. Students are taught by stage, not age, in their key stage to ensure gaps in learning and attainment are bridged before moving to the next level. Our schools provide a supportive environment for students to develop their personal growth.

"Amazing Support at KWS Bedford"

My child has thrived at KWS Bedford with the excellent support from the key workers and teachers. The focus on SEMH profiles really resonated with us and we've seen a significant improvement in their emotional well-being. We're so grateful to the team for their dedication and care.

"Helped Our Child Succeed"

My son attended KWS Bedford a few years ago, and it was a turning point in his education. The individualised learning approach and emphasis on personal growth really helped him to catch up and build confidence. We're so thankful for the progress he made during his time there.

"Mixed Experience"

We're still relatively new to KWS Bedford, and while we've appreciated the smaller class sizes and flexible approach, we've had some concerns about communication with the key workers. We're hoping to see more consistency and progress in the coming months.
