Northampton
Kingsthorpe College is the kind of school which is dedicated to ensuring that we
make a difference, in any way that we can, to both our community and our young
people. We are passionate about providing opportunities for all our students to
achieve artistic, athletic and academic excellence. We very much believe that
our role is to help develop successful learners, confident individuals, and
responsible citizens. In addition to ensuring that all our young people achieve
their potential in these areas, there is also a genuine commitment to respect
for individuals which is demonstrated in the daily life of the College. One of
the first things you notice when you walk into the College is how friendly
everybody is to each other – how frequently people smile, take an interest in
other people, and find something positive and encouraging to say. We always take
the time to celebrate success. For us, high quality relationships are at the
heart of everything that we do. We want our young people to be happy, confident,
curious, and resilient learners. We know that this can only happen if
relationships, built on trust and mutual respect, are central to all aspects of
our work. We believe that when young people feel safe and secure, everything is
possible, and we promise to do our utmost to make sure that we unlock the
potential in everyone. All we can ask from our students is that they do their
best, and we value hard work, determination, and thoughtfulness highly. We want
all our young people to ask themselves just one question at the end of every day
– was I better today than I was yesterday? So whilst passing exams, and gaining
the necessary qualifications to take that next step, is hugely important, we are
equally committed to providing our young people with the space and resources to
develop their character. We are proud of the extracurricular provision that we
are able to offer, and we work hard to give our students plenty of opportunities
to develop their confidence and creativity – both in and out of lessons. We also
believe in clarity of communication, and the power of feedback. We always
welcome open and honest dialogue between all those involved in and with the
College. We are committed to a restless excellence which can only be achieved
through regular feedback, and you will always find us receptive to this. We are
excited and optimistic about what the future holds for the young people and
community which we serve. Of course the best way to experience KC is by visiting
us, and you will always find our doors open. If you would like to come and see
us, please do get in touch - I look forward to sharing the College with you.
