What impressed me most about teachers at KHS was that they care about you as a person, and not just a set of results. I have a brother and a sister still at the school, and am informed that the Headmaster is highly respected, and even has a great sense of humour according to my brother who is now in his final year!

To add insult to injury the school claimed that they did not expel the pupil, but that the pupil left the school himself and therefore they would not be refunding the fees.\n\nThis school seems very keen to attract overseas pupils (and their fees), but if you are a prospective foreign pupil, parent or an educational agent, be warned - it is the fees rather than the pupil that are of main interest to the school's leadership. They will not think twice (even when repeatedly invited to do so) about excluding you from school and ruining your education, if they perceive a slightest theoretical risk to their standing with the immigration authorities.\n\nWe deal regularly with all the major public schools in Britain and it is impossible to imagine any of them ever acting so lowly in similar circumstances. Kingham Hill is a very proudly, or rather, loudly Christian school, but it is capable of the most unchristian and cowardly conduct towards its own pupils, even when they have done nothing wrong.","languageCode":"en"},"authorAttribution":{"displayName":"Alexander Nikitich","uri":"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/contrib\/102844320913691892820\/reviews","photoUri":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a-\/AD_cMMTSqgKIcYsilH24-TPncVsKP0T3XL2l27NDGGRCkZiuKQ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo"},"publishTime":"2015-08-29T10:11:25Z"}]

Throughout the whole ordeal there has not been a single word from the Headmaster, Revd. Nick Seward, who, whether out of shame or common parochial unintelligence, seemed to have burried his head in the sand and left his Bursar to deal with the situation. To add insult to injury the school claimed that they did not expel the pupil, but that the pupil left the school himself and therefore they would not be refunding the fees.\n\nThis school seems very keen to attract overseas pupils (and their fees), but if you are a prospective foreign pupil, parent or an educational agent, be warned - it is the fees rather than the pupil that are of main interest to the school's leadership. They will not think twice (even when repeatedly invited to do so) about excluding you from school and ruining your education, if they perceive a slightest theoretical risk to their standing with the immigration authorities.\n\nWe deal regularly with all the major public schools in Britain and it is impossible to imagine any of them ever acting so lowly in similar circumstances. Kingham Hill is a very proudly, or rather, loudly Christian school, but it is capable of the most unchristian and cowardly conduct towards its own pupils, even when they have done nothing wrong.","languageCode":"en"},"authorAttribution":{"displayName":"Alexander Nikitich","uri":"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/contrib\/102844320913691892820\/reviews","photoUri":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a-\/AD_cMMTSqgKIcYsilH24-TPncVsKP0T3XL2l27NDGGRCkZiuKQ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo"},"publishTime":"2015-08-29T10:11:25Z"}]
