Welcome
to The King's School Chester

King's is a community of learning. A community because staff, pupils and parents share common values and purpose - the ambition to be the best, the benevolence to care for each other, and co-operation and teamwork. We do a lot together - not just sport and music and drama, but over 150 activities and clubs. And we love learning: we are passionate about great teaching, but above all we all learn all the time. We are down-to-earth, but we have some of the best pupils and staff you would see anywhere. All this makes King's a truly remarkable place. Please do come and visit us.
