KSI and Heathfield Knoll School

KSI acquired Heathfield Knoll School in 2020 and has already provided significant investment into the improvement of the site and facilities. The Head, Lawrence Collins, and all existing teaching staff remained at the school at the point of acquisition. The first wave of development has been an initial £1 million investment in new buildings for SEN, food technology, music and information technology.

KSI provides oversight to HKS through the Managing Director, Daniel Wellings, and the Compliance Lead, Alastair Ramsay. Together they have a over 50 years of experience in the education sector.

KSI schools are focused on excellence in learning and creating a broad and stimulating curriculum that promotes and educates forward thinking citizens and future leaders. The educational offer underlines the importance of respect for the environment and puts the three core UNESCO aims of Conservation, Sustainability and Learning at the heart of programmes of study. Wellbeing is also taken very seriously by the KSI group. In addition, to sponsoring the Wellness Centre at the University of Oxford, KSI sees that support for the wellbeing of staff and students is actively promoted to allow everyone within the school community to flourish and achieve their full potential.

“KSI has been delighted with HKS’s progress over the past year, despite unprecedented circumstances. Our investment into the school has started to come to fruition and we look forward to children returning to the school and optimising their experience of the new facilities as intended”
