Why choose Kibworth Church of England Primary School?

School is far more than a place in which to work and learn. It is also a place where we begin to build relationships with other people, find out how to work collaboratively, develop a sense of ourselves, and discover how we as individuals fit into our world and society. We believe that it takes a whole community to educate a child, so we aim to work in partnership with parents, both individually and collectively. We are proud of our strong partnership with our very active Kibworth Parent’s Association (KPA), which organises many social and fundraising activities.
