Education Feature: Quintin Kynaston School - Inner city school with national achievement
Published: 19 September, 2011
QUINTIN Kynaston has retained its Ofsted categorisation as an outstanding school.
The overall progress of students from KS2, on entry, to KS4 places the school within the top 5 per cent of schools nationally.
Teachers’ subject knowledge is secure and students are motivated and committed to achieve their target grades.
Relationships between students and staff are of high quality and teachers comprehensively ensure that all students are actively involved in their learning throughout each lesson.
Students are not allowed to “opt-out” of their learning responsibilities.
As an extended school, a wide range of provision has been developed to support not only students, but their families as well.
The young, dynamic and stable faculty are hardworking and committed to the school improvement programme.
The quality of the learning environment is fundamental to the success of the school and through continued communication with Westminster Council for financial support, improvements to the fabric of the school’s buildings have been made... and the results are clearly visible!
Quintin Kynaston is inviting all parents or guardians with children of secondary school age to get to know QK before making their important decision.
Everybody who visits QK is struck by the positive and friendly attitude of the students and their determination to do well.
A sense of pride exists, achieved through the fact that every learner really matters at QK.
Headteacher Jo Shuter CBE said: “It is very rare to find an inner city school that sees exam results improve year on year… but we are one!”
