Bath, Bath and North East Somerset, South West · BA1 5SD
A co-educational prep school in Bath, Kingswood draws on a foundation that opened in 1995 and now educates around 332 children from the ages of three to eleven. Its small size and pupil-to-teacher ratio of roughly 18 allow for a closely supportive environment, and the Independent Schools Inspectorate rated the school 'excellent' for both education and personal development. Notably, just over a fifth of pupils receive some form of SEN support, suggesting a school accustomed to meeting a range of learning needs.
