The Ethos and the Environment
At Kentwood Academy, our ethos goes beyond academia. We believe in nurturing the whole child, promoting resilience, creativity, and global awareness. Set against the backdrop of Kent’s natural beauty, our campus offers an environment where students are inspired daily, both by the lessons in the classroom and the serenity outside.
Straw Bale Building
Straw bale construction offers exceptional benefits over conventional buildings. The high insulation value of straw bale walls helps keep homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer, reducing energy use by up to 30% compared to standard insulation. Plastered straw bale walls also have high fire resistance, naturally limiting flame spread without additional treatments. With reinforced design, straw bale homes are seismically resilient, meeting or exceeding earthquake standards.
