DISCOVER REAL ENJOYMENT OF LEARNING AT JUNIOR KING ’ S SCHOOL
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 Nursery , Pre-Prep and Prep departments provide a very happy , caring and nurturing environment for pupils with the majority moving on to The King ’ s School , Canterbury , Britain ’ s oldest day and boarding school , at the end of Year 8 . The children are at the heart of everything at the school and they 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 have the time to reflect on what they have done during the day . We all want our children to experience success , a real love of what they do and a heightened sense of self-esteem and modest confidence , and Junior King ’ s is constantly looking for new opportunities to give the children a chance to discover their particular talents and to flourish . The children do so well , and go so far , precisely because the first goal is their happiness , which is achieved by finding something that each child is really good at , and nurturing that in an environment where everyone can try sport , art , music , drama , DT , modern and ancient languages , and can apply creative skills across all their subjects .
The school is constantly developing the curriculum and thinking of ways to foster important life skills such as communication , collaboration , critical thinking and creativity that will allow children to excel in a future we can only imagine . The pupils develop independent learning skills that will stay with them for the rest of their lives . The extracurricular enrichment programme offers pupils rich opportunities to develop their interests in different areas , and includes activities as diverse as fencing , dance , rowing , sailing , horse riding , debating , current affairs , and chess .
Junior King ’ s is a co-educational day school with full boarding from Year 5 upwards . The age range is 3 -13 years with most pupils going onto The King ’ s School , Canterbury . They have a stunning eightyacre countryside location just two miles from the city of Canterbury and only 50 minutes from St Pancras Station , London .
Open days , held each term , are an ideal occasion to explore the opportunities on offer at Junior King ’ s for your son or daughter . The school also offers personal tours every day and this can be arranged in conjunction with a visit to the senior school ( please contact the registrar to arrange ).
Junior King ’ s offers natural entry points at Nursery , Reception , and Years 3 , 5 , & 7 and welcomes enquiries for both day and boarding pupils .
