At Kennet School Sixth Form, we believe that a supportive and inclusive community is the cornerstone of academic and personal success. Our commitment to fostering a welcoming and diverse environment ensures every student feels valued and respected. Our text-rich curriculum, developed by subject specialists, is designed to give students the best possible life chances. This, combined with our shared approach to teaching and learning habits, allows students to retain core knowledge, apply their understanding effectively, and continuously improve.
