The community at Kingswood is enhanced by including students from all around the world.  The School is a member of the British Council and is widely known through its Methodist connections globally.  It welcomes students of all faiths and from all countries. There are normally around twenty different countries represented within the school community. International students are warmly welcomed and a 'mentor' pupil (often someone who will speak their native language) is chosen to help and assist them on arrival as part of their familiarisation programme.

The breadth of culture and diverse backgrounds of students from other countries provide a truly 'international' flavour to the School and this allows students to make enriching friendships with a wide range of young people. There is a policy of restricting the number of places the School offers to students from any one particular country within each year group, so that the opportunity to become fully integrated into the whole school community and to experience a British education is maximised.

The School recognizes and acknowledges a number of world-wide festive occasions. This is demonstrated through a number of social events in the school calendar and is also reflected by special menus through the school catering.

The EAL Department is situated within the English teaching area of Kingswood and is very much a part of the main school campus.
