On Thursday 9th May 2024, Kingsford Community School once again showcased its excellence at the 2024 Chinese Bridge Mandarin Speaking Competition at University College London. This prestigious event drew participants from over 100 excellent schools across the UK, and our school’s pupils made a remarkable impact, performing head and shoulders above many independent schools once gain.
