My experience at KES Stratford has been extremely positive. The teachers are consistently hard-working and go out of their way to support students both in and out of lessons. They are approachable, dedicated, and always willing to give extra time to help consolidate understanding, push achievement, and encourage ambition. The school provides excellent academic support, with structured guidance for university applications as well as wider supercurricular opportunities. I’ve found the pastoral care to be equally strong, with staff genuinely attentive to student wellbeing and personal development. Beyond the classroom, the range of extracurricular activities is broad and inclusive, helping students develop confidence, leadership, and teamwork. Overall, KES Stratford creates an environment that balances high academic expectations with strong personal support. It has played a key role in preparing me for university and in shaping both my academic and personal growth.
