Academy Conversion

On 1 January 2022 Fern Hill converted to an academy and joined its neighbouring school The Kingston Academy within Kingston Educational Trust.

Background

At their meeting in January 2021, the Governing Body of Fern Hill Primary School unanimously agreed that, subject to statutory consultation, Fern Hill should apply to convert to academy status and join Kingston Educational Trust. 

Kingston Educational Trust (KET) is a state-funded educational charity created as a partnership between Kingston College, Kingston University and the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. KET opened, and now operates, The Kingston Academy — the secondary school adjacent to Fern Hill.
