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 use The Nest, the outdoo...
