The King's School

Who we are

King’s is one of England’s great independent schools, with a reputation for delivering outstanding education for more than five centuries.

We are both an academic school, with outstanding results, and a school that offers a broad education with a remarkable range of extra-curricular opportunities and experiences. Importantly, ours is a nurturing environment, which produces happy, well-rounded children.

King’s is a diamond model school, educating children from 3 - 18 years, through a successful blend of single-sex and co-education, and a vibrant curriculum that is designed to keep pupils engaged, challenged and eager to learn.

We aim to challenge our pupils to aspire, work hard and achieve great results. Our pupils are confident and independent young people who are fully prepared for the challenges of the future. When they leave, they go on to study at the universities of their choice and excel in their chosen fields.

Whilst we are immensely proud of our heritage, we are also a forward-looking school with a new curriculum and an exciting future set out in our 2020 Vision.

Our unique advantages:

• The experienced staff, resources and facilities of a large school and
• A small-school atmosphere within each of our four Divisions
• A commitment to both academic excellence and an unparalleled range of extracurricular studies
• A large estate giving children the space they need to grow and learn
• Pastoral care that is second to none

King’s is a beautiful school and a wonderful place to work. Founded in 1502, the school currently has two teaching sites in Macclesfield, Cheshire. Few schools can offer such a rich and varied curriculum and wide array of extra-curricular opportunities, within a warm and friendly community with excellent relationships between its pupils and staff.

Our Ethos

The King’s School is proud of its history and ambitious for its future. Learning and personal development are at the heart of our community. We seek to equip young people with the character and skills necessary to meet the challenges of an ever changing world.
