Equality & Diversity

King’s House is a lively, busy and happy school and we aim to give each child a high-quality, broad academic and co-curricular education, regardless of race, religion or culture.

We provide an environment in which the welfare of the children is paramount and where they feel secure and able to flourish; offering opportunities to take part and develop in all areas, so that the needs of each individual are truly catered for.

King’s House School is mixed-ability at our two main entry points, Nursery and Reception, and this means we have a range of pupils and abilities. We are proud of our traditions and history and our principles and standards are founded on Christian values, although the School is not aligned to any particular religion and welcomes pupils of all religions and backgrounds. We promote the principles of equality, tolerance and acceptance in all areas of life and they inform our teaching, both academic and co-curricular.

The diversity of our pupil body is celebrated from our Nursery upwards, with the recognition and teaching of various cultures, religions and languages. Significant cultural festivals are explored and celebrated with the children and guest speakers invited in to the school to explain the history and meaning of the celebration. We always love to hear about the children’s traditions and celebrations at home, and often families will share this with their children’s class. Alongside this, our staff EDI committee meet termly and feed back to the Senior Management Team and Governors.

IQM Inclusive School Award

We are delighted that in November 2023 King’s House was award the IQM’s (Inclusion Quality Mark) Inclusive School Award, which recognises a school’s ongoing commitment to provide the very best education for all children.

The report highlights the quality of the Learning Development team, who work to ensure that all pupils can thrive at King’s House and have their needs met, as well as how small class sizes allow teachers to provide individualised support for pupils.
