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.

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.

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

These activities thrive at King's and all students are encouraged to participate in some some activities. Most take place at lunchtime or after school, but some happen at weekends or during school holidays.
