From your child's first day at The King's School at 7 years of age, we are preparing them for graduation and beyond. Your child will not know it, but we are developing the skills for learning and a positive, confident outlook that will serve them well throughout their lives.
The wealth of opportunities - academic and extra curricular - encourages your child to thrive and develop a zest for learning. Your child will leave King's self-assured, confident, well rounded and prepared socially and academically for university and beyond. The King’s School is one of the leading independent day schools for boys and girls, aged 7-18.
If this is what you desire for your child, please contact us for more information, a tour or taster day.
I look forward to meeting you at one of our forthcoming events.
Chris Ramsey, Headmaster
