Kew House School was established in the conviction that there exists an opportunity for a different kind of independent secondary school in London – academically demanding but with a forward-thinking approach to selection criteria, the flexibility of the curriculum, the shape of the school day, and recognition of creativity and talent. A character-selective school, we pride ourselves on the support and care we extend to our 600 pupils whilst striving to add value to their success in all fields of academia, sport, and creativity. Having successfully grown over its ten years since foundation and recently awarded the ISI “Excellent” grading. Physics is an incredibly popular A Level choice at Kew House School, expansion in the number of students taking it over the last few years has created a need for more teaching staff.
Curriculum
Science has a role of great importance within the curriculum. The faculty is exceptionally well equipped with seven dedicated laboratories and a prep room. All labs are well provided with resources to ensure the delivery of a dynamic and exhilarating curriculum for our students, where practical investigation is placed at the heart of teaching and learning in order to engage and inspire our students as young scientists. We teach general science to year 7, then separate physics, chemistry, and biology from year 8 up. Teachers are rarely required to teach out of specialism, even at KS3; some choose to teach a second subject at KS3 for their own interest and development.
The KHS Physics Department is thriving. Results are excellent and a high A-Level uptake means we now run two classes per year group. Physics and Engineering are popular university choices at KHS. We prepare a number of students to sit the PAT and/or NSAA each year, the ability to support this is advantageous for candidates. Many of our year 12 students sit the Physics Olympiad, which we help prepare them for.
