About Kingswood Primary School

Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Kingswood Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 8 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 3.7%. There are about 18.1 pupils per teacher. When you visit, you might ask how the school stretches its higher-attaining pupils and supports those who need to catch up.
