We are a happy and supportive community committed to the pursuit of excellence in education. We trace our roots back to the 17th Century. Our founder, Robert Aske, established the principles that guide us to this day. We give talented and ambitious young people the opportunities they need to succeed in life. Our academic performance speaks for itself, but we know that great exam results are just the beginning. A Habs education prepares young people for fulfilment in a world that demands flexibility, creativity, resilience and critical thought.

The King's School is an independent Christian day school with a unique environment in which children can thrive and grow both spiritually and academically. Here childhood is valued and treasured, and God is firmly at the centre of all that we do. This is a place where children can develop a strong sense of identity and destiny, secure in who they are and looking confidently to the future. Following on from our Preschool (Highfield Preschool at The Oval), we have pupils from age 4 (Reception) through to Year 11 when they take their GCSEs. We provide quality academic preparation in an environment committed to the Christian ethos and lifestyle, with committed and skilled teaching and support staff. Small class sizes, with one form entry, ensure that every child is known and valued and that their individual needs can be met, stretching and supporting as appropriate.
