Academic Excellence / Sport / Music / Drama / Art / Busy Weekends / Huge Range of Activities
Junior King’s is a co-educational day school with full boarding from Year 5 upwards. Our age range is 3 -13 years, with most pupils going onto The King’s School, Canterbury when they leave. We have a stunning eighty-acre countryside location just two miles from the city of Canterbury and only 50 minutes from St Pancras Station, London. A historic school, founded in 1879, but one that is never stuck in history, Junior King’s stands out as a place bursting with energy, dynamism, and a real enjoyment of learning. The children are at the heart of everything we do, and we believe that with a positive and creative approach comes happy, engaged children. Junior King’s prides itself in its excellent pastoral care. Academic results take care of themselves when children are well-looked after, feel safe, and are busy throughout the day. We want our children to experience success, a real love of what they do, and a heightened sense of self-esteem and modest confidence. We are constantly looking for new opportunities to give the children a chance to discover their particular talents and to flourish. Our children do so well, and go so far, precisely because our first goal is their happiness. We achieve this by finding each child's interests and passions and nurturing them in an environment where they can be involved in sport (including football, rugby, netball, hockey, and cricket), a huge range of activities (including rowing, sailing, horse-riding and fencing), art, music, drama, DT, and modern and ancient languages.
