From the Kensington Avenue Primary School
We appreciate you visiting our website. We really hope that this information serves as a helpful introduction to the school. Children at our school, which is an academy with a nursery class, range in age from three to eleven. All of the teachers and students at Kensington Avenue Primary School (KAPS) are very helpful and nice to one another. Our head teacher, Ms. Cranham, is amazing, and all of the students respect her. Our outstanding teachers hold us to the highest standards in all of our classes, including math, english, computing, science, physical education, and art, among many others. We have "Playground Buddies" from Year 6 who assist kids who are distressed or lonely during playtime. Parents and carers are welcome to visit the school, and we would be delighted to show you around. Please schedule a meeting with the office staff if you'd like to meet us and learn more about the school. We appreciate you reading about KAPS and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
