Exam Invigilators

King’s Academy Easthampstead Park is an 11-18 mixed comprehensive school situated in south Bracknell and the majority of our students are local; the Headteacher’s vision is for us to become the first-choice destination school for the designated catchment and beyond. There are currently just under 1000 students on roll and this number is predicted to rise due to the increasing popularity of the school and new housing developments in the area.

At King’s Academy Easthampstead Park, our vision is to provide an outstanding education for all students which fully prepares them for life beyond school. We aim to develop learners who are happy, healthy and equipped in every way to deal with the challenges and opportunities they will face in the future. The values of respect and pride are central to our school. We have high academic aspirations for all of our students, but also believe that education is about far more than just achieving outstanding academic results in examinations. We seek to develop students who have a strong sense of community, both locally and globally, who are confident, able to lead others and bring about positive change. The school is fully inclusive and has facilities to cater for all learning including special physical and education needs. Our facilities are excellent and we have a good range of performance and sports facilities which support both our in-school and our extended school curriculum.

In November 2022, we joined King’s Group Academies (KGA), following an associate membership lasting nearly two years. We took a great deal of time and care when choosing a MAT to join, and believe the relationship we have established allows us to retain our own unique school identity, whilst benefiting from the economies of scale and increased opportunities afforded by being part of a larger group of schools (‘the best of both worlds!’). Since we joined KGA, staff at all levels have been really enjoying sharing best practice and working collaboratively with their peers from the other KGA schools.

We have an incredibly friendly and supportive staff who enjoy working with a student body that fully reflects our community. The Senior Leadership Team includes two Deputy Headteachers, two Assistant Headteachers, and four Senior Teachers, all of whom will have strategic responsibility for a key area in the school’s development. There is a strong sense that the school is moving forward and we believe that this is an exciting time to join us.
