Kingswood takes its name from the district in Bristol where in 1748 John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, created a school which he hoped by preaching, teaching and example would do more for young people than his own school days had done for him. His aim was to provide academic rigour within a caring and supportive community in which Christian values were intrinsic and central. The school gradually expanded and moved to beautiful parkland on the northern edge of Bath in 1852 to continue his purpose and maintain its tradition of service to young people and to Methodism. It is now a co-educational day and boarding Independent School represented on the Headmasters’ Conference and has over 1000 pupils aged between 9 months and eighteen.
