Welcome to the King's Junior School.

World Book DayYou couldn’t wish for a better introduction to King’s for your child. Here, in small classes under the caring eye of their teacher, they will be encouraged to explore and discover the world around them through imagination, creativity and fun. Our role is to help your children fulfil their potential and realise their talents in a friendly, open and respectful environment. They will leave the Junior school with all the skills and confidence to move seamlessly into Senior education and beyond. Alongside the traditional curriculum, we believe strongly that Drama, Music and Sport build skills of teamwork, character, fairplay and give all pupils an opportunity to perform and shine.

We expect all pupils to take a pride in their work and their school and give them the opportunity to excel in whatever subject or activity.
