James Southworth, co-founder of National Online Safety, said: “Congratulations to everyone at KEPS on becoming a National Online Safety Certified School. By completing our training programme, the school has shown its strong commitment to implementing an effective whole school approach to online safety.”
“It can be increasingly difficult for schools and parents to stay ahead of online threats and ensure both children and staff are safeguarded from potentially harmful and inappropriate online material. We arm schools with the knowledge they need to understand online dangers and react in the best way possible to any problems.”
Well-being takes high priority at KEPS. During the pandemic we have continued to support our children, staff and whole community in a variety of ways. This support is imperative if we are to maintain that strength in togetherness and our unique community connection. KEPS was awarded the Teach Well Alliance Gold Award in July 2020 for our work as a school and we are very proud of this achievement.

Microsoft Innovative Educator
Microsoft Innovative Educators (MIEs) use Microsoft tools in the classroom and have learned the fundamentals of applying technology in education. This is the first step on an exciting journey of joining a professional network of enthusiastic educators who come together to learn, share, and grow.
We encourage ALL teachers to become MIEs so they can provide modern teaching and learning practices in order to enhance the learning of children, supporting them for the jobs of the 21st Century.

Eco-Schools
Eco-Schools is the largest global sustainable schools programme – it starts in the classroom and expands to the community by engaging the next generation in action-based learning.
The programme’s greatest achievement is arguably the fact that it produces generation after generation of sustainably minded, environmentally conscious people. These individuals will carry the behavioural patterns they uptake under the auspices of Eco-Schools with them through life, in turn teaching the next generation the habits to make a difference.
KEPS proudly achieved our first Green Flag Award in 2019 and have maintained this achievement ever since. As a school we are very much aware of our responsibility for developing greener ways of living and learning. Our ECO Team are fantastic and the children take their roles very seriously – organising various events and initiatives.
