Mr Nick Tappin
Director of Admissions

"We knew we had 'found the one' on our first visit to King's Ely. It's not just the beauty and history of the buildings, the majesty of the Cathedral nor the politeness of the students but the overwhelming sense of family and homeliness.  The staff are so very kind and thoughtful and it was clear to us that they have the children's best interests at heart."
Mrs Warwick, Year 9 2023
