"Kingsley Devon - recommended"
Kingsley has helped turn my child around after a bad experience in a local school. The small classrooms and friendly family feel were just what she needed and have restored her confidence and enjoyment in school and learning. The curriculum is engaging, they push the kids academically to the right level at each stage, and the sporting and outdoor learning opportunities are extensive. I highly recommend the school.

"Do not send your kid To Kingsley School Bideford"
Do not send your kid here. Children are punished to behave as submissive, poor communication with families, lack of empathy and education from the Headmaster and the Head of Pastoral. There are other schools much better and with a better culture than this one. An inspection would be needed.

"Super Mobile Planetarium Visit"
✨ Yesterday, with my business Immersive Theatres, I delivered a 7m digital planetarium experience to all 300 students at Kingsley School Devon. I was warmly welcomed by the staff and found the hall prepared just as I had requested. The day was well organised with all groups arriving on time. The excited but well-behaved students enjoyed a rich selection of content: peering up at the planetarium night sky; visiting the International Space Station; learning about dark matter, telescopes, electromagnetic radiation, black holes, the Solar System and the search for real aliens. Thank you Kingsley School Devon for a very pleasant visit 🚀✨
