Simple Steps Parents Can Take to Maximise Academic Potential - 29th January 2026

At Kingsway, we believe developing the whole child is just as important as academic success. In this video, our Headteacher explains how we work every day to ensure students leave us not only with strong grades, but as socially responsible citizens.

He also highlights two key ways parents can support this work beyond the school gates: fostering a love of reading at home and making use of the Reach Project to access enriching extracurricular activities across Rochdale. These simple actions can have a powerful impact on students’ confidence, social development, and overall potential.

We encourage all parents and carers to watch the video and find out how, together, we can help every child thrive — academically, socially, and personally.

By communicating openly and effectively, we can ensure that important information is shared and nothing valuable for our children is missed.
