The children at King’s are happy, intelligent, inquisitive and full of fun! Educating the whole child is central to our purpose, and with this a deep sense of awareness and gratitude for the many opportunities and the safe caring environment in which the human spirit can flourish.
Pupils at King’s are nurtured and supported in finding the confidence and courage they need to embrace a life-long journey of learning. For us there is no separation between their academic and pastoral development; the two are inextricably entwined and we believe we become the stronger for how we adapt to the many nuances.
Sixteen boy choristers, educated at King’s College School, form part of the world-famous Choir of King’s College, Cambridge. The Choir was founded in the fifteenth century by King Henry VI to sing choral services in his magnificent chapel; this remains the Choir’s primary role and is an important part of the lives of its Choristers, 14 choral scholars and two organ scholars, who study a variety of subjects as undergraduates at King’s College. In addition to the term-time choral services, the Choristers have the opportunity to make radio and television broadcasts, recordings, and perform in magnificent concert venues around the world.
