We are delighted to introduce you to our wonderful school, or rather schools, as The King’s School consists of three – The King’s School (our Senior School), Junior King’s and The King’s School International College. Whichever one interests you, each shares an incredible legacy of learning that spans over fourteen hundred years.
“It is an enormous privilege and pleasure to lead this remarkable school.”
We began as the monastic school of Canterbury Cathedral and you can almost feel the centuries of accumulated knowledge and studious endeavour all around you. 1400 years on, our three schools are inspired, not constrained by this illustrious and unmatched history, and as the original educational pioneers we look to the future and to the world for which we are preparing our young people. At their heart, each of our communities cherishes the individual, supporting each individual pupil as part of our diverse and remarkably inclusive whole. It is this which enables our children to find their place, and to flourish. A King’s education is one which enables pupils to find their passions and to illuminate their path, and equips them with the skills and confidence which they will need to thrive in a fast-moving and ever-changing world. Our pupils emerge with the self-confidence, self-awareness, resilience, and open-mindedness required to face the challenges and to seize the opportunities of their futures, alongside a desire to make a positive contribution: at King’s, and beyond.
We invite you to explore our three schools in more detail through this website, and warmly invite you to visit us to visit us in person, either at one of our open days, or for an individual and tailored tour.
