What would it take for your child to flourish?
Some parents know that their child could succeed but are frustrated that he or she is making slow progress. It might be because they:
. are going unnoticed in a large school
. have a learning difficulty such as dyslexia
. are struggling with difficult issues at home
. seem to be developing later than their friends
. lack confidence
At Kingham Hill we are as keen as any school to accommodate the most able students, and we do it well. However, we revel in working with the average ability student, helping them to exceed expectations. There is something very satisfying about enabling a ‘C’ grade student gain ‘B’ grades, helping a second XV player make the first XV rugby squad and finding a place in the musical for the grade 3 clarinettist.
As a matter of principle we do not select students on the basis of their academic achievements. On assessment days and at interview the Headmaster and his team are looking to identify students who will flourish if offered timely affirmation, appropriate challenge and, sometimes, tender loving care. Many students surprise their parents, and more importantly, themselves, by what they achieve.
Securing this kind of success is hard work. It takes skill and dedication. It can only be found where the right values and ethos thrive. Drawing on 120 years of Christian commitment and outstanding pastoral care, we have a remarkable track record in helping students exceed all expectations.
