School profile

Kennet School

‘Excellence Through Endeavour', our school motto, perfectly communicates our belief that through hard work and determination every pupil is able to achieve things they didn’t think were possible.

Supported by the exceptionally high results achieved at both GCSE and A Level, we enable our pupils to exceed expectation in every aspect of their life and flourish as confident individuals.

We are a truly inclusive school. We have a fully staffed physical disability resource and hearing impaired resource that enables pupils from West Berkshire and surrounding counties to be part of the Kennet community.

We are relentlessly ambitious for our pupils who thrive through our mantra of high expectations, hard work, respect for themselves and each other, and personal aspiration to improve the world around them.
