From the Kings' School
Welcome to the webpage for Kings' School. I'm hoping it will be fascinating to you and give you some useful details about the school. With over 1680 students, Kings' 11–16 Community School serves Winchester and the surrounding areas and is oversubscribed, pleasant, and successful. It has received four consecutive "Outstanding" ratings from OFSTED. We take great pride in the very high standards achieved by our pupils they leave us as happy, well-qualified, confident and well-motivated young citizens and we are delighted that so many go on to excel in local sixth-forms and at colleges and universities. As a school, we are motivated by a sense of the moral seriousness of what schools do; by a conviction that education, while important, should also be fun; by a belief that schools should be inclusive communities in which everyone is equally valued; and by a determination that each one of us will become the very best person that we can be. Being the headmaster of any school is an enormous honour, therefore I am equally thrilled and proud to have been given the charge of overseeing Kings'. I hope that you will agree that it is a fantastic place for young people to learn and develop and that, having looked at our website, you will want to visit us and see it for yourself. A prospectus may also be ordered or viewed online at this location.
