We are always delighted to welcome prospective parents and pupils for an individual tour of the school with the Registrar, during the school day. These enable families to ask questions, meet the Head, the staff and pupils, and get a feel for the environment and ethos.
We usually offer tours on Tuesday and Friday mornings during term time. On arrival, parents meet with the Head, before touring the school, with a particular emphasis on the areas of most importance to their child.To arrange a visit, or for more information, please contact Katie Randle, Registrar.
Many of our pupils join King’s at the age of 4 into Reception, and remain with us through to the end of Year 8. Traditional entry points have always included 7+ into Year 3, 8+ into Year 4 (the age for Choristers and Schola Cantorum to join), and 11+ into Year 7, particularly popular for those preparing for entry to senior schools with scholarships or where Common Entrance may be required.
The reality is very much more accommodating. The nature of our building allows us to increase cohort sizes as pupils move up the school, so we are always delighted to welcome new children as these additional places become available, and that can really be into any year group and pretty well at any time in the academic year.
From Reception to Year 4, the classrooms are in St Martin’s Building, which is positioned within the Main School Campus, with its own Pre-Prep playground space. It has a close-knit family feel, enabling all pupils to be nurtured and to feel well known. St Martin’s is a converted house, with classrooms varying in size and thus allowing us to add children at non-standard entry points:
Please contact the Registrar to check if there’s a space available in your child’s year group ([email protected]).

Your child will be invited to visit for an assessment and we will also write to their current school for a confidential reference report (not applicable for entrants to Reception).
Offer a Place
Parents have two weeks to accept the offer of a place.
Joining Paperwork
The full joining paperwork is sent to parents during the term before the child joins the school.
Transition Visit
