About

The Kings School is an independent Christian day school for children of nursery age up to GCSE (16 years). The school was established in Hemel Hempstead with 75 pupils in 1982, and moved to Harpenden during 1987. The current premises are situated in beautiful grounds on the outskirts of Harpenden.

We have students with an age range from 4 to 16 years old, and our preschool, Highfield Preschool, is located approximately 800m further along the road at The Oval. The Kings School accepts applications from members of the Christian community, but we are not affiliated to any one particular church or church grouping.

Trustees and staff are drawn from a number of different churches in the area. The school provides a Christian teaching environment which facilitates quality academic achievement, with high quality teaching staff and strong supporting help so that individual assistance can be given to each child according to his/her need.

The school seeks to assist in the development of each student, not only in character, but also in God-given potential in academic and practical subjects.

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