King’s School is a Church of England School in the Diocese of Chichester, for students in Years 7 to 13. Our work and relationships are based upon the four core Christian values of Love, Forgiveness, Respect and Responsibility and through these we encourage and support every student and member of staff to be the best that they can be.

At King’s, we take pride in our exceptional track record of academic success and our varied enrichment program, which is integral to our school day. Here are some key features of our school:

• Distinctive and tangible Christian ethos and values which creates a diverse and inclusive school community;
• Consistently outstanding GCSE results in terms of both attainment and progress;
• Innovative teaching practices - our teaching and learning methodologies are designed to engage and inspire our students to provide a well-rounded education for all;
• High standards of attendance, behaviour and uniform to ensure an orderly and safe environment in which all students can reach their full potential;
• Exceptional pastoral care - our commitment to creating a supportive environment, where every student can be themselves is second to none.

The school opened its doors to its first cohort of students in September 2013 and moved to its permanent site, a purpose-built facility for all areas of the curriculum, in September 2019.

There are currently just over 900 students in years 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 and a team of over 90 teachers and support staff.
