Kings School Hove

Anybody have any information on Kings School Hove? Particularly Sixth Form? Would you recommend it for a shy, dyslexic student?

Shameless bump.

The sixth form is brand new, so not sure many people will have info. I don't have a child at the school but I know several with kids there and also a few teachers and all really rate it as a high achieving school with a calm environment. It's often recommended for SpLD students as well. Their low achieving intake make excellent progress (best in Brighton, I think) so they're doing something right!

Tldr: I don't have personal experience but have only heard good things.

Can I ask why its often recommended foe SpLD students? And why they have a low achieving intake??

I assume because it's a small, quiet school with good support, but I don't know the specifics.

It doesn't have a low achieving intake, if I remember correctly from when we were looking at the gcse results this autumn it has a slightly higher than average skew towards high achieving students, but that's pretty normal for a faith school. But the low achieving pupils make greater progress between intake and gcse year than any other school in the Brighton area.

If you go to the government website you can look at King's 2023 gcse results and drill down to the high/medium/low achieving pupil results. King's has excellent scores on all levels, I would have been happy for my child to go there.
