Kings’ is an oversubscribed, happy, and successful school, offering exceptional, well rounded, and individualised education for 1800 11–16-year-olds.

Our vision is clear, Working Together to Achieve Inspiring Futures, Exceptional Character, and Academic Excellence, and this is evidenced every day. Our positive ethos is evident from the first few minutes in school and is seen in the quality of relationships between all members of our school community.

We recognise the importance of staff wellbeing and voice. Our staff are at the forefront of every decision and are encouraged and supported in voicing their opinions through various forums and channels. Having adopted the DFE Wellbeing Charter, we are committed to protecting, improving, and promoting mental health and wellbeing at Kings’, we have a dedicated Committee, who meet regularly to discuss and implement “Kings’ Wellbeing” initiatives and a “Kings’ Portal” for staff to access all things wellbeing.

Throughout their time at Kings’, we support each of our pupils in their unique passions and talents, providing a wide arrange of diverse subjects and opportunities, and helping our ambitious, determined children to find confidence and joy in their work – now and in the future.

We are reminded of our vision by our motto, Una Laborantes (Working Together). Our values act as our inspiration and navigation in our learning, our work, and our life at school as we work together for our pupil’s personal growth and future academic success.

The care provided by our pastoral staff is outstanding and, through a focus on high expectations and positive relationships and with support from our Kings’ community, exemplary behaviour is the norm among pupils. At our recent Ofsted visit in January 2024 we were awarded a “Good” classification with 21 out of 22 areas graded outstanding, read the full report here.
