Academic Qualifications

Academic Rigour

Pupils are able to select from an extensive range of subjects that will not only serve to challenge them, but to help provide and promote curiosity, enthusiasm and motivation. Academic rigour and a co-ordinated programme of support has meant that 98% of pupils at King’s are accepted into their first choice university and this includes Oxbridge, International, Medical and Russell Group Universities.

A King’s education is one that provides academic rigour while also allowing opportunities for enrichment, leadership and creativity within a vibrant and supportive community. Our teachers, not only inform and instil knowledge, but also look to enrich and encourage curiosity and intrigue, preparing pupils for a world full of uncertainty and opportunity through a rich and diverse curriculum.

Outside of the classroom, pupils are enriched and benefit from the King’s Academic Workshop programme, debating, visiting speakers and subject trips that serve to generate curiosity and to enhance the learning experience.

The strong pastoral side of the School helps to support pupils with their academic progress and the outstanding support and guidance offered to pupils from the teachers, tutors and Housemasters helps ensure that every pupil, regardless of ability, is provided with opportunities and provision to enable them to achieve their academic potential. A frequent and comprehensive programme of assessment is built into this programme of support and ensures pupils are aware of their academic progress, targets and mechanisms for progress.
