Welcome to Duke of Kent School Stretch and Challenge Website 

Our Aim

At Duke of Kent School we aim to have high expectations of all students all of the time, by encouraging and supporting the learning of all students.

We adopt a growth mindset, operating on the principle that all learners can, when properly challenged and supported, achieve extraordinary progress. Our focus is on achieving personal best in every aspect of development. We expect, and celebrate effort, with our philosophy based around extending all learners to their own individual limits. This individualised approach, enables pupils to experience stimulating teaching beyond the examination specifications and ensures that there are no ceilings to achievement.

We believe that pupils intelligence is not fixed and therefore increased effort and focus will enable progress and improvement with learning.

We aim for a whole School ethos which encourages and celebrates learning. Our ambition is to provide a challenging and stimulating learning environment for all, which offers the opportunities for students to shine and develop an enthusiasm for learning.
