Community Engagement

Community Engagement

At Kingswood, we are dedicated to engaging with our local community. Every year, we organise a variety of exciting events that invite community members to join in on activities that highlight our departments within school and significant events throughout the calendar year. This has the aim of further developing our strong bond with our local community.

Halloween Movie Night

Each October we hold our Halloween family movie night! This year we welcomed over 100 people into our theatre, with a range of parents/carers and students from all year groups in attendance. A fantastic evening was had by all in attendance, with many visitors wearing Halloween fancy dress!

MacMillan Coffee Events

Over 80 members of the community attended our Macmillan coffee morning event in September. It was great to see members of our community, staff and prefects enjoying the coffee and cakes together. Guests enjoyed  a wide variety of delicious cakes and treats prepared by our food technician. The event raised a huge total of £223 for McMillan.

Following the event, feedback from staff voice was that it would be great to have more regular coffee events in the future.

Following positive feedback from our first Macmillan coffee morning event, we now hold a coffee MacMillan coffee event each month. An amazing selection of cakes and refreshments are served by our food technology team and were enjoyed by staff and community. 

Retro Gaming Evening

Each November we hold our family Retro Gaming event at Kingswood academy. Last year we welcomed over 55 Parents/Carers and students who enjoyed a selection of over 1000 retro and modern games on PC's, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch consoles as well as free refreshments during the evening. The event was a huge success and was enjoyed by all who attended.

Christmas Movie Night

In December each year we host our annual Christmas family film night.

Last year we welcomed over 90 parents/carers and students into our theatre to watch a showing of Christmas Chronicles 2. It was an amazing night that was enjoyed by everyone in attendance, many of whom were sporting Christmas jumpers.

Kesteven Care Home Visits

Each year our Dynamix choir visit the Kesteven care home.

Students perform at the care home on two occasions. Residents on the first day in the general ward and on the second day on the  Alzheimer's ward. The students received extremely positive feedback from both residents and staff and it was fantastic to see our students interacting with the residents and spreading some Christmas cheer!

North Point Shopping Centre Visit

Each year our Dynamix choir perform a range of Christmas carols and songs to members of the public to spread festive cheer in our community.

We received outstanding feedback last year from both staff at the centre and members of the public throughout the visit. The centre manager has already  been back in touch to arrange future performances there in the new year.
