Jump to a list of senior school clubs and societies

Music and drama thrive at King's and all students are encouraged to participate in those activities. Rehearsals take place in lunch hours and after school as well as at weekends.

Many clubs and societies operate within the school and we encourage sixth form students to run activities for junior students.

The school enjoys outstanding success in inter-school sports competition and students frequently achieve county or national representation in their chosen sport. A wide range of inter-school sports fixtures is offered to all age groups. The sports available to students include football, hockey, rugby, cricket, tennis, basketball, badminton, athletics, cross-country and netball.

See below the description of junior school activities for a list of regular extra curricular activities in the senior school.


There is an extremely lively tradition in music. The orchestra and choir perform regularly and every pupil participates in the annual concerts. Each year there are two drama productions and all pupils above the first year can become involved.

Boys enjoy many short courses as part of the general curriculum including drama, food preparation, first aid, golf and cycling proficiency.

Clubs and activities take place during lunch hours when there is also plenty of time for play. We also offer foreign holiday excursions and an annual adventure holiday.

The school has extensive playing fields and few primary schools can offer the range of games available here. We field five or six teams at football and two teams at cricket and many fixtures take place on Saturdays. Selection for teams is on merit and all boys can be considered. There is a full inter-house sporting programme for all and competitive and recreational opportunities in swimming, tennis, athletics, cross country and pop lacrosse.
