Welcome

Discovering Life in all its Fullness

Meet the Staff

At The King’s Church of England Academy, we believe that relationships are at the heart of everything we do. Our staff are more than just names on a page, they’re the people who greet our students each morning, guide them through challenges, celebrate their successes, and help them grow.

 

Rooted in our values of Aspire, Belong and Care, we work together to create a school where every young person feels known, supported, and inspired to be their best.

 

Take a look below to see who’s who at The King’s. We’re proud to introduce the team that makes our school such a special place.
