Kensington Park School

London, Westminster, Greater London · W2 4AT

Founded in 2017, Kensington Park School is one of the newer independent schools in Westminster, and at around 200 pupils it remains deliberately small. What stands out most is its remarkably low pupil-to-teacher ratio of about four to one, which allows for genuinely individual attention. The school is co-educational, takes pupils from age 11, and offers boarding alongside day places. With a sizeable sixth form of 81 and an international flavour reflected in its language offering, it suits families looking for a close-knit, highly personalised setting.

Teaching & academics

Pupils work towards GCSEs and A-levels, with the option of an EPQ to stretch independent research skills. Results show a notable contrast: headline GCSE attainment is low, with an Attainment 8 score of 20.4 against a national average of 46.9 and no pupils reaching grade 5 or above in English and Maths, yet 49% of GCSE grades fall in the 9-7 range and 35% of A-level entries earn A* or A. The sixth form leans towards sciences, mathematics and the social sciences, with Physics, Maths, History, Government and Politics, Economics and Business Studies among the popular choices. A quarter of pupils receive SEN support, which sits alongside the school's small-class, high-staffing model.

The last word

A small, internationally minded Westminster school where the four-to-one staffing ratio is the headline feature. Parents will want to weigh that personal attention against mixed academic outcomes.
