About

King's offers families a number of unique advantages: King's has all the advantages of a large school, with fine buildings and facilities, an unrivalled range of extra-curricular opportunities, and a reputation for attracting the very best teaching staff.

But we operate within three, smaller Divisions each with its own Principal, pastoral team and intimacy of a small school within a school. Every single child is valued as an individual and their talents are nurtured. We pride ourselves on our exceptional pastoral care.

Our pupils experience a friendly, small-school atmosphere with the support of an impressively large group of talented staff.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
