“A SCHOOL SET APART”, WRITTEN BY GARY BEST

(Kingswood Headmaster 1987 to 2008) the highlight of which was running one of the (few?) Covid-19 response programmes that have been quietly recognised as successful. I now run my own psychotherapy business, where I help my clients understand their unconscious thoughts and feelings in order to build the lives they truly want. I live with my fiancée (who I met at Kingswood) in London, and we will be returning to Kingswood next year to get married in the Chapel. This will be the first same sex marriage to take place at Kingswood and I cannot wait to celebrate our love in the place that we both consider our home.

Having a good education is not demonstrated by how well you can regurgitate what other people think. It is demonstrated by how well you can understand what you think and, crucially, why you think it. Kingswood gave me the confidence to think for myself. It taught me that what I think and feel matters, and that is the greatest gift of my life.
