Why choose Kingshott?
Kingshott School is located on the outskirts of Hitchin, Hertfordshire, offers an exceptional all-through education for children aged 3 to 16. With a focus on academic excellence, personal growth, and a global outlook, we provide a nurturing environment where pupils thrive at every stage of their educational journey.
Our purpose-built Nursery, Junior, and Senior School offer stimulating environments where curiosity flourishes. Small class sizes and high staff ratios ensure personalised support, fostering confidence, independence, and self-esteem. As children progress, they gain increasing independence, transitioning from the caring Junior School to our well-equipped Senior facilities, laying strong foundations for future success.

Since 2015, we have continually invested in our facilities to enhance learning experiences. The Robinson Building offers modern specialist spaces, including an Art Room, Music Room, Drama Studio, Food Technology Room, Design technology, Science Labs, and teaching classrooms. Our multimillion-pound Sports and Drama complex, completed more recently, further enriches both our sports curriculum and performing arts programme.
