Blackford House is the House at the heart of King’s, both physically and metaphorically speaking. We are centrally located within the School campus and are 'home' to both boarders and day boys. We passionately believe everyone is someone and that every boy is known for whom he is, not just for what he can bring to the House.
In Blackford, we have a family atmosphere and encourage a sense of purpose, especially during work times and prep. We hope every boy will represent the House in sport, music, drama or debating, to name but a few of the opportunities on offer. Not everyone has to be brilliant at something, or indeed brilliant at anything, but there is room for boys who strive to get the most out of what is on offer and who, we hope, will become well-rounded, confident young men by the time they leave us, ready and prepared to take on the next stage in their lives, whatever it may be. We want to create confidence without arrogance, and therefore politeness is a very important part of being in Blackford. In Blackford House, it is our main aim to ensure that the boys are confident and happy.
