What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 November 2023
Pupils at Kingston show a great deal of pride in themselves and their school. Pupils have an inner confidence that shines through. They love their school and attend happily. Pupils learn about the 'Kingston way,' which helps them understand how to be better learners and more considerate individuals. Pupils live up to the staff's high expectations of learning and behaviour. They behave exceptionally well. Pupils understand that if they work hard and try their best, they can achieve and learn more. Pupils' books show they take great care with their work and they are neat with their presentation. They achieve very well. Young pupils learn the simple school rules as soon as they start school. For instance, children in Reception know that they need to have 'kind hands and feet' and to use kind words. This learning develops as pupils get older when they learn how their actions can affect others. Older pupils can become school ambassadors. However, to achieve this role, they need to complete some tasks that benefit others. Pupils are very keen to have this job, and the ambassadors are positive role models for others. In this way, pupils understand that positive actions benefit themselves and others.
