Throughout the school, great emphasis is placed on the Bible as the Word of God. Each week spiritual principles are taught through stories and theme teaching and time is given to worshipping and praying together. As pupils get older, we encourage them to think through the implications of their faith and to see how it affects the world around them.
We are currently based on two separate sites. Our Primary Site caters for children from Y1 to Y6. This September, our reception year have become part of our new Early Years Foundation Stage Unit on this site, along with those children who had been part of the Stepping Stones Pre School. The Senior Site caters for children from Year 7 to Year 11 (i.e. age 11 to 16).
Our Primary Site
As well as the core subjects (Maths, English and Science), a variety of other subjects and activities are incorporated into the timetable. These include Biblical studies, Music, Art and Crafts, History, Geography, PE, Games and Computer Skills. Project or Topic themes based on Christian perspectives and principles are developed by our staff.
Our Senior Site
In the senior site, our aim is to provide a mature foundation in applying Christian principles and values to all aspects of the curriculum. The core subjects taken at GCSE level in Y10 and Y11 are Maths, English, Double Science and Religious Studies. Students then take another three to five subjects from the following: History, Geography, French, German, Art, PE , Information Technology and a Third Science. Please note that ALL three sciences are studied for both the double and triple award.
We also want our students to be responsible, caring citizens. This involves supporting them as they serve the wider community in a variety of ways including sharing their Christian faith in other schools and in such areas of service as helping the elderly or handicapped.
Many of our students can have opportunities for direct and indirect involvement with Christian schools in Canada, Zambia, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, India, Norway, France, Germany and Kazakhstan.
For both our primary and senior pupils there are opportunities to participate in sports which include soccer, cricket, netball, hockey, tennis and athletics. Matches are played with other schools in the area and annually the school participates in a Christian Schools' Sports day. There are also regular dramatic and musical events.
Pre school Education
As well as the Stepping Stones Foundation Unit based at The King's School, we also have another pre schools .
The King's Pre School in Bicester has been running since 2008. It is organized and run by members of the churches of Bicester, under the oversight of the Oxfordshire Community Churches. Please see their website for more information.
