"As SEN parents, it was a big step for us to have {our child} way from home for such a long period. However, we felt fully supported every step of the way. The thoughtful preparation from Mrs D, her care and consideration throughout the trip, and the attention given to {our child's} sensory and food needs made an enormous difference. We were especially touched by the small but meaningful moments of care – even checking whether the tooth fairy should visit after {our child} lost her tooth on the journey!" - Parent November '25
"I have loved my time at Kea. I wish I could stay forever!" - Year 6 Leaver July '24
"Staff follow leaders’ high expectations for pupils. They secure positive relationships with
and between pupils. As a result, pupils behave well and are respectful.....Bullying is very rare and, when it does happen, is dealt with effectively. Sensible adjustments are made for those with SEND. Low-level disruption is very rare. Pupils recognise how staff help them to love to learn, be good citizens and consider the world of work. For example, pupils are positive about the increased opportunities to learn outside in the school’s extensive grounds. They like the way they can shine in school productions, undertake leadership opportunities and develop independence when on residential visits." OFSTED July 2024
"My husband and I often reflect on how challenging the education system can be — under-resourced and overstretched — and yet the dedication and positivity shown by the entire team at Kea is nothing short of inspiring. You all continue to lead with heart, and it makes all the difference."-Parent October '25
"...It’s important for her to see that someone in a position of power and trust can also have an 'alternative' appearance. It shows her that people who look a bit like her family can hold respected and influential roles, and that’s incredibly empowering for her and raising her aspirations.
We just wanted to say thank you, sincerely, for welcoming {our child} into your school community and for creating a space where she already feels she belongs." - Parent October '25
