A leading independent day school in Gloucestershire, The King's School Gloucester is one of only seven cathedral schools in the country, set up by King Henry VIII himself in 1541 – and it celebrates its 485th anniversary in 2025.
The award-winning school educates both boys and girls aged three to 18-years-old and welcomes children of all faiths, as well as those of none, to its diverse and inclusive community.
Situated next to Gloucester Cathedral, it provides an inspirational learning environment for its pupils and blends a historic setting with state-of-the-art facilities.
The school benefits from a special relationship with the cathedral, where daily assemblies are held, as well as offering the prestigious King's School Choristers experience for talented young singers.
King's pupils achieve consistently excellent GCSE and A Level results alongside enjoying an exceptional co-curricular offering, which includes everything from sports clubs to music, drama and the creative arts – not forgetting the nurturing and supportive pastoral care.
In its latest ISI inspection, The King's School Gloucester received the highest possible verdict of 'Excellent' for both pupil achievement and pupil personal development – and The Good Schools Guide praises King's for its strong sense of community, heritage and tradition; small class sizes; personalised teaching; and its friendly, responsive and positive admissions process.
