Founded in 1829, King's College School, Wimbledon, is one of London's top academic institutions. One of the first schools to introduce science teaching, it has maintained its reputation for a progressive approach to education. Highly selective, the school is confident in the pupils’ academic abilities, which gives them the opportunity to challenge them intellectually beyond exams and introduce a focus on the world beyond school. The recent ten-year masterplan has enhanced the already spacious campus with a new music school and state-of-the-art sports facilities, supporting a vibrant extra-curricular programme. Extensive commitment to the local community and innovative ideas such as a pupil ‘shadow’ board of governors, make this a stand-out school for both intellectual and personal growth. Close links with their international campuses adds a global perspective.
