The King’s School, Canterbury offers a truly exceptional educational experience, combining academic ambition, musical excellence, and a remarkable 1,400-year heritage that inspires every pupil who joins our community. As the oldest school in the UK, founded in 597 AD, King’s is built on a tradition of scholarship that has shaped generations of thinkers, leaders, and innovators. Today, that tradition is matched with a forward-looking approach to learning. Pupils benefit from small classes, highly qualified teachers, and a curriculum designed to stretch and support every individual. Whether excelling in the sciences, humanities, or creative disciplines, students are encouraged to think deeply, ask questions, and develop a genuine love of learning.

Music sits at the heart of King’s. With world-class facilities, dedicated tutors, and countless opportunities for performance, pupils of all abilities can discover and refine their musical talents. From the renowned Cathedral choristers to orchestras, ensembles, and contemporary groups, our musical life is vibrant, inclusive, and central to our identity.

Beyond the classroom, King’s offers a warm and welcoming boarding and day environment where young people grow in confidence, character, and independence. Set within the inspiring precincts of Canterbury Cathedral, the school provides a unique backdrop for personal and intellectual development
