Welcome from the Head

Thank you for your interest in King’s House School. I am very proud of our staff here
at KHS, and we are a friendly and caring school with a strong sense of community,
where pupils can thrive and flourish. The pastoral aspect of school life is at the heart of
everything we do, and we pride ourselves on providing an inclusive environment that is
both nurturing and challenging. I am proud of the supportive and collaborative culture at
King’s House, which helps staff and pupils to be the best they can be.

It is a joy to watch our pupils grow into confident young people, ambassadors for King’s
House when they leave us at 13+ to go onto a wide range of day and boarding Senior
Schools. We value a broad and balanced academic education, enabling our pupils to
develop their academic, social, sporting, emotional and artistic attributes.

We are committed to recruiting excellent staff across our teaching and non-teaching
departments and King’s House School Enterprises, with the opportunity to develop
careers. You will be joining the school at an exciting time, when we are investing in
our facilities to ensure an inspiring education for students for many years to come. In
September 2024, the school moved to coeducation with girls currently in over half of our
year groups.

I hope this provides you with a flavour of what life is like at King’s House School, with a
staff team who develop enthusiastic young people who can be relied upon to make a
positive contribution in all areas of school life.

rooms, two science laboratories, a new design technology room and music area.
There are three forms in each year group. Forms are mixed-ability in Years 4 - 6
with some subjects setted, and streamed in Years 7 and 8. Pupils experience
increasing exposure to subject specialist teachers, who will teach a range of year
groups and sometimes more than one subject. The curriculum the pupils follow
prepares them for Common Entrance at the end of Year 8.

Throughout their time at King’s House, the pupils are encouraged to take part in
art, drama, music and sporting activities. There are productions every year for all
year groups, concerts and many more performance opportunities for music, as
well as numerous games fixtures and sporting activities. There are also outings
for all years to enrich the curriculum, and from Year 3 residential trips in the
summer term.

King’s House offers its pupils a broad and balanced curriculum and prepares
them well for their transition on to their next school. We cherish each pupil as an
individual and provide them with the skills and mental resilience to succeed in
whatever path they choose to take. Small class sizes means that we can get to
know each child and identify their unique strengths, interests and passions.

King’s House School

King’s House School was founded in Richmond in 1946 and has been a boys’ prep
school since then until September 2024, when girls joined for the first time as we
move to co-education. The school operates on three sites in or around Kings Road,
which is on the very pleasant setting of Richmond Hill. The Senior Department (for
pupils from Year 4 to Year 8) is at 68 Kings Road, the Junior Department on its own
site just down the hill, and the Nursery around the corner on Princes Road. The
school also has a 35-acre sports ground just over Barnes Bridge, where there are
numerous pitches, athletics facilities, cricket nets, tennis courts, two 3G pitches and
all-weather pitch.

All children in the Nursery are guaranteed a place in Reception, and there are also
small intakes at Years 3, 4 and 7. Pupils generally stay until 13 when they move on
to a wide range of single-sex, co-ed, day and boarding schools, with a number each
year gaining scholarships.

The Nursery operates from its own site in a carefully restored building on Princes
Road. The youngest children, in Hedgehog Class (rising 3s), are based on the top
floor and Squirrels and Rabbits Class (rising 4s) on the ground floor. There is a very
positive, caring atmosphere to the Nursery, and the ground floor has an additional
Woodland Library also used for small group activities and specialist teaching. The
Nursery has its own dedicated staff supplemented with specialists from the school
PE, Music, Drama and Copmuting departments.

The Junior Department (JD) is housed in two Victorian buildings which have
been sensitively redesigned and linked to provide an exciting and stimulating
environment for the pupils. There is a two-form entry to Reception with about forty
children in the year group. This number grows to about 48 in Year 3 with three forms.
The class teachers deliver the vast majority of the curriculum, but pupils do have
lessons with specialist teachers for Music, languages, PE and Games and Computing.
All children take swimming lessons at a local pool from Years 1 - 3, and the Early Years
and Key Stage 1 regular...

Graduate Assistant (Music) 6-month contract

Music at Lancing College

Music is at the heart of life at Lancing and the renowned Choir sings at services in Chapel as well at major cathedrals across the country and regularly broadcasts choral evensong on BBC Radio 3 most recently in October 2025 and December 2023. Music at Lancing is extremely well resourced, and the College Chapel is an inspiring setting in which to make music in services and concerts and is fortunate to possess magnificent organs by Frobenius and Walker. Large-scale symphonic and chamber music concerts are frequently given in Great School which houses a Steinway model D and extremely good acoustics for instrumental and choral music.

Choral and instrumental music flourish in the Choir, Choral Scholars (Chamber Choir), A Cappella Club, College Singers (Choral Society), Symphony Orchestra, Sinfonia, Concert Band, Big Band, Rock Society, a host of chamber music groups and a Music tech club.

There is a full and varied programme of events, ranging from lunchtime concerts, rock concerts and masterclasses to large-scale evening concerts and musical theatre. In the Lent Term the House Music Competition receives over 200 entries from pupils in solo, duet and ensemble categories, and the House Singing Competition in October involves every pupil in the school.

Concert highlights have included Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite, Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, Sibelius’ Finlandia, Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending as well as numerous concerto movements. Chamber ensembles have performed Dvorak’s Dumky Trio, Borodin’s String Quartet no.1 first movement and Clara Schumann’s Piano Trio second movement.

The College Singers together with the College Choir give an annual performance of major choral works including Mozart’s Solemn Vespers Rossini’s Petit Messe Solennelle, Handel’s Messiah and Vivaldi’s Gloria in recent years.

To celebrate the completion of the Chapel in 2022, the College commissioned a new anthem The Earth is the Lord’s composed by Matthew Martin and now published by Novello. In 2024 the school celebrated its 175^th Anniversary with the musicians performing in a Gala Concert in London at Southwark Cathedral and also giving the first performance of Lancing Beatitudes composed by Roxanna Panufnik and published by Peters.

There are regular musical productions in the theatre and recent shows include Guys and Dolls, Sweeney Todd, The Addams Family, Anything Goes, Chicago and My Fair Lady.

There are twenty-seven Music Scholars and Exhibitioners in the College with over half coming to Lancing from cathedral choir schools such as St Paul’s, Chichester, Salisbury, Ely and Exeter. Lancing’s Music Scholars regularly go on to study Music at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, winning Choral and Organ scholarships and to many of the top music colleges including the Royal Academy of Music, the Royal Northern College of Music, the Guildhall School of Music and the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

Enrichment activities for Lancing’s musicians include visits from professional musicians to give concerts, masterclasses, and lectures with recent visits from Nigel Short (conductor), Sally Beamish (composer), Meurig Bowen (arts administration) and the Kokoshka Trio.

The Department holds annual music events for Prep School pupils; orchestral and choral which have proved very popular amongst local preparatory schools.

Music Department Staff

The Department comprises three members of teaching staff; the Director of Music, Assistant Director of Music & Head of Academic Music and a Graduate Teacher of Music, supported by a Graduate Music Assistant and an administrator. There are twenty-four visiting music teachers offering tuition in the full range of orchestral and rock instruments and voice, many of whom also lead and direct school ensembles.

The Music School

The Music School has 14 practice rooms, a drum room, a chamber music room, a recital room and a computer suite. The recital room, where much of the academic teaching takes place, is also used for rehearsals and lunchtime concerts. The computer suite has recently been upgraded with 14 Macs fitted with a range of software such as Sibelius, GarageBand, and Logic. Further rehearsal space is located below the Chapel in the Bedford Studio for the Symphony Orchestra and the Crypt for the Choir.
