AKS is part of the United Learning group. 

We can arrange a visit during theSummer holidays where you can meet our Admissions Team and see our school site or you may prefer tocome and see learning in action on a typical school day when we return for the Autumn term. We also appreciate how important it is for children to share their learning experiences with friends. You can arrange an individual visit at a time convenient to you.

Arrange a taster day

Our taster days provide an opportunity for children to experience the curiosity and creativity that thrives within our classrooms and beyond. We can arrange a taster day at our Prep or Senior School throughout the school term. 

A Seamless Transition

Moving schools is a significant decision and our team works closely with families to ensure that any transition is as smooth as possible.

From their first day, new students are supported by staff and fellow students to help them settle quickly into school life, build friendships and feel part of the AKS community. Our pastoral teams, tutors and teachers work closely with parents throughout the process.
