Kennet School An Outstanding Academy Leading the Kennet School Academies Trust

Kennet School is a dynamic and ambitious 11-18 co-educational comprehensive school which opened in September 1957; now, as then, it serves the population of Thatcham and the surrounding villages. As the most over-subscribed school in West Berkshire, the school has grown steadily in terms of numbers on roll and more importantly, facilities available to pupils and staff alike, in pursuit of excellence. Kennet School is consistently in the top 20% of schools nationally for progress and attainment. Kennet was declared Outstanding by Ofsted in May, 2016. The 2017 A Level results were the best in West Berkshire, by far.
