Kenningtons Primary Academy

About Kenningtons Primary Academy

We place equal emphasis on academic achievement, personal development and sporting achievement to name but a few. We run an impressive Pupil Responsibility programme in which children take on jobs across the school in addition to being famous for our bi-annual Summer Music Festival – it could rival Glastonbury! Every child at Kenningtons is treated as an individual, and we do all within our powers, and sometimes out of our powers, to offer a bespoke experience.

"Mixed Experience - Some Positives, Some Negatives"

We have mixed feelings about Kenningtons Primary Academy. On the one hand, the facilities are excellent, and our child has really enjoyed the Summer Music Festival. However, we've experienced some communication issues with the school, and we feel that the school could do more to support children with special educational needs. Overall, it's a good school, but we feel that it could be better.

"Outstanding Experience for Our Children"

We have been thoroughly impressed with the care and support our children receive at Kenningtons Primary Academy. The Headteacher's vision of providing a bespoke experience for every child is truly evident in the way the staff engage with our children. The facilities are fantastic, especially the nature garden and woodland area - it's been a game-changer for our child's learning experience.
