"A School that truly cares"

Our child was at Kingsgate for a year before they moved up to a mainstream school. The school's approach to emotional and mental health was a game-changer for our child. They truly cared for our child's needs and helped them develop essential life skills. We miss them dearly but are grateful for the experience.

"Supportive environment"

My child has been at Kingsgate for a year now, and I've seen a significant improvement in their behavior and attitude. The school's pastoral care is excellent, and the staff are always available to support us. However, I do feel that the school could improve on providing more extracurricular activities.
