Welcome to Kingsteignton School

Welcome to Kingsteignton School: a modern, enthusiastic and aspirational school that endeavours to support our pupils in becoming well-rounded citizens that leave us ready for the challenges of secondary education and later life.

At the core of our school is an appreciation of the importance of human connection. We share the opinions expressed by Rita Pierson in her TED Talk ‘Every kid needs a champion’, and, in their daily being, our staff members model positive relationships and demonstrate to our pupils that they care about them, are there for them and will never give up on them. Visitors always comment on the calm and serene atmosphere of our school and the respect children show to each other and to the adults in school. This is achieved by actively celebrating the positive and quietly but firmly discouraging the negative.

Through our inspiring and engaging curriculum, we aspire to develop our pupils as holistic learners and strive to support them to fulfil (and exceed!) their individual potential. We believe that a school’s curriculum should be about wonder and astonishment, excitement and risk, challenge and support, enterprise and adventure and that pupils should be provided with opportunities that extend beyond the National Curriculum.

We pride ourselves on our character education work. Within school, we model and exemplify our five values: perseverance, courage, friendship, compassion and justice; we also develop this within our pupils via our trust-wide ‘Eleven by Eleven’ initiative, through which we provide the children with a range of leadership opportunities, sporting events and performing arts activities, amongst other aspects.
