Junior King ’ s provides an outstanding all-round education for children between the ages of 3-13 , within a happy , secure , and caring environment . We aim to build strong and confident foundations by developing each child ’ s physical , social , spiritual , cultural and intellectual life .
Arriving at the Pre-Prep , you will instantly sense the welcoming atmosphere and know that you are in a special place . A place of cooperation , collaboration and achievement – the bright and stimulating classrooms , the extensive grounds and Forest School in our own woodlands .
Founded in 1879 as the preparatory school to The King ’ s School , Canterbury . In 1929 the School moved to a stunning 80 acre countryside location just two miles from Canterbury , opened by Rudyard Kipling .
The Barn is one of the oldest buildings at Junior King ’ s and has its roots as far back as 1580 . It is the main area for teaching drama and also used for assemblies , orchestra and choir practice , dance , plays and concerts .
Thanks to the remarkable generosity of a number of past and present parents , the new Michael and Vibeke Herbert Music School opened in January 2016 fully equipped with modern facilities and brand new instruments , including Blüthner pianos . ( Michal Herbert pictured right )
Our facilities include a purpose built astro turf surface , nine tennis courts , extensive playing fields , a state of the art sports hall , cricket nets and a heated swimming pool . The King ’ s School Recreation Centre ( fencing salles , fitness studio , dance studio , pool , climbing wall , astro turf pitches ) and the 22 acres of Birley ’ s field offer further opportunities .
We aim to nurture happy , confident children and to see smiling faces . Encouraging an appetite for learning and offering a dynamic and caring environment in which to grow and flourish .
