From the Kingmoor Nursery and Infant School
As the Headteacher of Kingmoor Nursery and Infant School, it is a great joy for me to write to you and introduce myself. I am extremely enthusiastic about education and hold myself and everyone else in our school community to the highest standards. I firmly believe that for students to succeed and cultivate a love of learning coupled with values for life, the interaction between the home and the school is essential. With the help of the knowledgeable faculty and Governors of Kingmoor Nursery and Infant School, my goal is to keep expanding on our institution's positive attributes and improving the instruction we offer. At Kingmoor, we provide outstanding instruction and rapid growth in a supportive learning environment. We take pleasure in being a welcoming, open school where every kid tries their hardest from the time they start attending at age three until they leave for the junior school at age seven. There are nine classrooms total, plus a nursery. Year groups collaborate, and we maintain a "small-school atmosphere" that develops and supports all kids while providing them with the enriching opportunities that a bigger school can only provide. Every class is a lively, dynamic learning atmosphere where the kids are challenged in a caring setting. We are proud of our school and the academic and other accomplishments of the kids. I want to personally thank you for your ongoing dedication to and support of the faculty, staff, and students at our school. We are looking forward to another great year ahead.
