The vision at King’s School is to develop the individual talents of each boy for life.
Small Class Sizes
Each class at King’s School has a dedicated teacher and homeroom. Class sizes are kept small so that the boys get the best possible level of attention. This ensures the boys form a solid bond with their teacher and classmates which helps them feel confident to take risks and challenge themselves.
Literacy and numeracy are the primary focus and there are extra teaching staff for each year level, allowing for smaller teacher:pupil ratios. This enables staff to teach to the appropriate level for the development of each boy.
Specialist Teachers
King’s offers a wide range of enrichment subjects to inspire and stimulate boys. Specialist teaching is provided for Music, Drama, Art, Science, French, Physical Education and Swimming.
Every boy learns a musical instrument and there are a variety of cultural groups and sports teams to join. Boys are encouraged to follow their passions and the school celebrates success and achievements across all disciplines.
Chapel and Religious Education are led by the school’s chaplain who teaches the importance of values. Every King’s boy is expected to live by the Golden Rule, “Treat others the way you would like to be treated.”
Focused on Boys
Life at King’s School is very much geared for boys with shorter class times, more visual and tactile teaching methods, opportunities for boys to be active and move around the school, and male mentoring and buddy programmes. All these strategies are backed by research on how boys learn best.
Headmaster, Tony Sissons, is committed to giving boys the best possible start to their education. “I am proud of my team and believe a King’s School education provides every boy with a strong foundation for the future by instilling a love of learning with values and integrity, while establishing friendships for life. It’s the best gift you could give your child.”
