If you play to a high standard, have previous ensemble experience and can commit to weekly rehearsals and regular concerts, we’d love to hear from you!
We are a non-auditioning band, but to assess your suitability we’ll invite you along for a four week trial period to see how you get on. If we are mutually compatible you will be invited to join permanently.

Our repertoire includes classical transcriptions, original wind band compositions, music from stage and screen, and light popular music. We perform up to five formal concerts a year at venues in Reading and Wokingham, and summer brings the opportunity to put on light performances at bandstands across the area.
We are regular entrants at the National Concert Band Festival, a day long festival of music where bands are judged on their performance. In April 2018, the band travelled to Manchester where we were thrilled to be only one of two bands to receive the coveted Platinum Award!
Our annual full-day workshops give us the opportunity to take on some new, challening repertoire under the direction of a guest conductor. Previous conductors to take our workshops are Nigel Hess, Rob Wiffin and Duncan Stubbs (both were formerly Principal Director of Music, Royal Air Force) and David Cole (former Director of Music, The Royal Marines Band Service, and assistant producer of the annual Festival of Remembrance).

Gap Student 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. Mark Turner Head 2 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...
