We offer a valuable experience and myriad opportunities for all to enjoy.

“Our children love sport and have been very well served by the set-up at King's. The addition of an Athletics Coach to the Sports Department has upped the ante with extra-curricular strengthening and conditioning programmes, plus more cross country and athletics competitions on offer; in which all three of our children have enjoyed participating. "
Mr & Mrs Birkwood
