Academic Enrichment - 'Inspire'

At King’s we want all students to grow as independent thinkers who relish new challenges and have wide horizons for their learning. It is our aim to encourage every student to be confident about producing creative scholarship that reflects her own unique interests and questions about the world.

Within the classroom, teachers at King’s seek to provide high-level teaching and learning that inspires all students, including the gifted and talented. Thought-provoking extension work, open-ended questions that stimulate link-making and critical ideas and creative problem solving, are all part of the teaching toolkit at King’s.

Inspire Academic Enrichment Programme

As we enter the final term of the academic year, we are delighted to introduce you to another fantastic array of enrichment opportunities which make up this term’s Inspire Programme. The aims of this programme continue to reflect its core purpose of inspiring creativity, curiosity and independence in our students through a range of enriching opportunities beyond the curriculum.

There is something for all students to get involved with and be inspired by this term, ranging from the In-House Internship Programme for Year 9 students to the newly launched “Subjects ‘In-Action’” photography competition. We are also looking forward to the KS3 Inspire trip to the British Motor Museum and the launch of the prestigious Inspire Essay Competition which always attracts a range of outstanding and academically rigorous entries.
