We seek to achieve this through engaging them so that they are inspired and motivated to
learn and develop themselves. Secondly, by helping them establish firm foundations so
that they develop in character, confidence and conviction. Next, by equipping them with
the necessary knowledge, understanding, skills and attributes. And lastly, we seek to

empower them by helping them to discover and use their strengths, gifts and talents.
This process is delivered through our curriculum, classes and culture.

CLASSES
We see our classes as little teams and
families where we work together and
encourage each other to achieve and
excel.
As well as teaching and creating a secure
learning environment, we see our teachers
as coaches and cheerleaders. Their goal is
to motivate each child, facilitate their
learning journey and encourage them
every step of the way. Each class has a
lead teacher and a teaching assistant.
The school has smaller than average class
sizes (maximum 15), known as learning
10 centres, which allow children to learn at
their own pace.learning
CULTURE
As a school we believe that our values need to
be lived and expressed in our behaviours and
in the environment we create collectively. We
take every opportunity inside and outside of
the classroom to embed our values and
create a positive and uplifting school culture.

our The King’s House School Windsor has
community
grown out of the vision of the King’s
Church International community.
Founded in 1943, the church has
always had a vision to invest in children
and young people.
Pastor Wes Richards, the senior pastor
of the church, shared how he had felt
the urgency to start a school after the
birth of his first grandsons. The
motivation to start a school was
shared by the leadership and by many
of the young parents in the church. So
together, the church worked to launch
the school in 2012.
As a school, we have benefitted greatly
from the investment and support of
