Impact Statement

Throughout the year we organise a series of art workshops inviting Year 2 from a local state primary school into our Art school. The events are hosted by sixth form students; all equipment and materials are provided free of charge.

Sixth form students run weekly sessions at a local state primary school, the activities are determined by the school and include hands on help in the classroom.

We run a Community service programme involving several local state primary schools. The programme involves weekly visits by King’s students to support children under the direction of the primary schools.

A local state primary school has weekly use of swimming pool for curriculum lessons.

New this autumn we organised a Primary Schools’ Writing Competition, over 60 local primary schools were invited to compete. Entries were received from 6 schools. The prizes were later presented at the three winning school’s assemblies.

We organised an annual Primary Schools’ Quiz, inviting 30 local primary school. Entries received from 18 schools.

We hosted a talk based on the Fields of Battle Exhibition by a renowned photographer. Invitations were issued to 30 primary schools, 10 schools attended the talk in our theatre.

Hockey Workshop organised by the sports department; invitations issued to the 23 local primaries, 8 schools attended.

Netball Workshop organised by the sports department; invitations issued to the 23 local primaries, 7 schools attended.

Senior pupils and staff put on a Matinee for local state Primary Schools. Invitations issued to 9 primary schools, only one school attended.

Each year our two lower year groups put on a Christmas Show for local state primary schools. Invitations issued to 11 primary schools, 3 schools attended.

A local Language College have use of the school playing fields each year for their sports day in July.

King’s supports students from a local Dance Academy, providing rehearsal venues, and materials for the internally assessed units. We also act as an examination centre for them providing administration and invigilation at no cost to the Academy.

At our cost, we built and maintain an Astro all-weather facility which has 50% term time access for a local secondary school. This enables them to have year-round all weather games provision for Hockey and Football.

New Entrant Bursaries

King’s recognises the significant sacrifice that many parents make to enable their children to benefit from an independent school education. We passionately believe that talented children should be able to enjoy all that a King’s education can offer, regardless of background or parental income.

Our bursaries can amount up to to 100% of school fees, and are means-tested. They are specifically targeted towards those applicants who would benefit most from this life-changing opportunity, and many of our most successful pupils are testament to our bursaries’ success.

Entrance Bursaries are awarded primarily to pupils entering the school at the ages of 11, 13 and 16. Depending on the availability of funds, Entrance Bursaries may be awarded to a pupil entering the senior school at other ages.

For more information on eligibility for bursaries, please see their Scholarships and Bursaries booklet.
