The King's School, Gloucester is one of the seven famous Cathedral Schools established by Henry VIII in 1541. Whilst initially a Choir School, it has grown considerably over the years into the leading co-educational independent school in the area, with around five hundred pupils, aged three to eighteen.
The Cathedral choristers continue to form an important part of our school community. You still have to be a boy to be a chorister, but we have been welcoming girls into the school for almost 30 years.
The King's Junior School is a secure and happy environment for good learning to prosper in order to prepare the whole child for secondary education, and to establish the foundations for a rewarding life.
An energetic spirit runs through the community, reflecting the pride and sense of togetherness amongst children, parents and staff. Visitors to King's are invariably struck by our pupils' confidence, enthusiasm and good manners. Small class sizes and a dedicated professional staff enable each individual child to reach full academic potential, while benefiting from a broad based cultural and sporting curriculum. The Junior School meets for Assembly every day in the Chapter House and holds regular services in the Cathedral Nave.
