Principal's Welcome

The KES Way: A Distinctive Path to Character and Community 

At KES Academy, we believe that The KES Way is what sets us apart. Our school is not just a place of learning—it is the beating heart of our community. We are immensely proud of the town we serve, and in return, we strive every day to ensure that our community is proud of the young people in our care. 

We hold the highest aspirations for every child. We want our pupils to leave KES not only with strong academic foundations but with the confidence, ambition, and purpose to thrive in the next phase of their lives. Whether that be further education, training, or employment. We aim to inspire them to dream big, work hard, and make a meaningful contribution to the world around them. 

Our unique house system is central to school life. These houses are more than names. They are symbols of identity, unity, and tradition. They are recognised and respected not only within our school but across the wider community of King’s Lynn. 

Because of this deep-rooted connection, we are passionate about delivering a rich and purposeful character education. At the core of this is our unwavering commitment to teaching and modelling good manners and mutual respect.  

We believe that how we treat one another matters deeply. By placing relationships and values at the centre of everything we do, we prepare our pupils to be kind, responsible, and active citizens, both within our school and far beyond it. 

We take pride in living our values every day. Through our actions, we help shape young people who are not only academically capable but also respectful, compassionate, and ready to contribute positively to society. 

This is more than a philosophy. It is our promise. 

This is The KES Way.
