This school is one of over twenty schools in the UK and USA working on the Student Agency In Learning (SAIL) project. It is a student centred, highly personalised approach to education pioneered by Kunskapsskolan in Sweden for over 15 years and now used across the world.

In Swedish, “Kunskapsskolan” means “the knowledge school.” The name is an expression of the organisation’s passion for providing excellence in learning and knowledge for the next global generation. We support schools to personalise each student’s education according to their individual needs and abilities. All resources in the school are carefully designed and organised around the student in a complete and coherent system – the KED Program™. Together with their personal coach, the student sets personal goals for all subjects. Equally important, the student and coach find strategies to reach the goals based on the student’s ability and way of learning. As subject experts and coaches, the teachers in the KED Program™ support the students in every step to develop their knowledge and skills. The material that we work with, the infrastructure, organisation, technology and other facilities support the personalised learning process.

Kunskapsskolan schools are the leading schools in Sweden. The success of its KED Program™ can be judged not only by students’ performance being higher than the Swedish national average, but also by the growth of Kunskapsskolan schools and those schools such as this one, inspired by its KED Program™ across international boundaries. The KED Program™ operates in over 100 schools and in 6 countries as part of a truly global partnership.

Together we believe we can provide an educational passport for the global generation that builds character and skills alongside academic qualifications.
