Junior King's is a co-educational day school with full boarding from Year 4 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 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.
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.
What the school is known for? Junior King's is well known for its excellent boarding facilities, welcoming children from all over the world. We are particularly proud of the wide range of sports on offer, including netball, football, rugby, cricket, tennis and hockey, as rowing, sailing, horse-riding, swimming and fencing.
