Kingshott School is a co-educational independent day school for pupils aged 3 to 16, situated on a 23-acre site on the outskirts of Hitchin. Founded in 1931, the school has recently expanded its provision to include a senior department for GCSE students. Facilities include a multi-purpose sports hall, an all-weather pitch, a salt-water swimming pool, and a dedicated performing arts centre. The school provides a broad curriculum with a focus on academic, sporting, and creative development. Its extensive grounds allow for a range of outdoor learning opportunities and diverse extracurricular activities within a supportive community.

Selectivity:
Academic
Candidates for the Senior School in Year 7 or Year 9 are required to attend an assessment morning to complete a computer-based CAT4 test covering multiple types of reasoning, plus a handwritten creative or persuasive writing exercise. For those entering between Year 1 and Year 6, age-appropriate evaluations are used to ensure children can succeed within the school's academic framework. Entry for the youngest pupils in Nursery and Reception is non-selective and involves an informal meeting rather than formal testing.
