Kennet School An Outstanding Academy

KENNET School has been providing Outstanding education for Thatcham and the surrounding villages, since 1957. Success is a way of life at Kennet School. We have won many accolades at local and national level, thereby attracting significant extra resources, to invest in the facilities for our pupils. Children at Kennet School enjoy an environment which is second to none. We believe that our pupils deserve the very best and that is what they shall have.

We offer a range of extra curricular activities which is exceptional and we are delighted with the huge numbers of pupils who respond to these opportuni- ties and challenges.

Choosing a new school for your child is a huge decision. We understand the many factors and issues that have to be weighed up.

Our aim, quite simply, is to enable every one of our pupils to grow into a responsibile and fulfilled adult with the skills, qualifications and confidence to shape their futures.
