"We decided to move our daughter, Bea, to King’s Ely Prep in Year 7, and our son, Oscar, in the Summer Term of Year 6. Our decision was driven by a desire for both children to receive a truly well-rounded education, and let’s face it - you cannot beat King’s in the Summer Term!
"In the workplace, we too often see graduates burnt out before their careers have even begun, which is deeply concerning. Cambridge, as a city, we feel places a heavy emphasis on academic intellect, and unfortunately many of the other qualities that drive innovation can be sidelined.
"This is not to say that King’s is not academic - it absolutely is - but it approaches learning in a far more creative and balanced way. We genuinely believe King’s enables children to reach their full potential regardless. Both Bea and Oscar are thriving academically, while also benefiting from the breadth of opportunities the school offers beyond the classroom. There really is something for everyone, and both children have discovered passions they had never previously been exposed to. Bea now loves Music and is enjoying doing her Bronze Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Oscar loves his Rugby and the 'STEM on Track' project.
"The children often talk to us about their teachers, and it is clear that they feel safe, supported, and encouraged to speak up - no matter how unconventional their ideas may be! I am pleased to say they are both very happy and their creative spirits are thriving."
