What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 December 2023

President Kennedy School is committed to 'building brighter futures' for all. They embody this ambition wholeheartedly. Pupils are proud and happy to be a part of this inclusive and diverse school where they excel both academically and personally. There is a real buzz around school. Pupils behave impeccably and live up to the high expectations that the school has. There are excellent relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils know who to speak to if they have any issues and they know these will be dealt with quickly. The equality of opportunities resonates in everything the school does. All pupils have access to a complimentary breakfast, uniform, musical instrument lessons, residentials and trips throughout enrichment week. The school's vision of 'no barriers' is lived and breathed in all aspects of school life. There are ample opportunities for pupils to take leadership. Sixth form subject ambassadors support their younger peers in lessons. 'Health ambassadors' read to residents and in care homes and invite them into school for Christmas lunch. The 'undivided club' hosts events such as 'Asian festival' and 'pan-African festival' to celebrate the different cultures that exist. All of this prepares pupils to make an active contribution to society and prepares them well for life in modern Britain.
