The King's Hospital School
Welcome

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to The King’s Hospital School. Since joining the community in January 2025, I have been struck by the warmth, energy, and commitment of our students, staff, parents, and alumni. KH is a school with deep traditions, but also one that looks forward with ambition and confidence.

My vision is rooted in our values of Curiosity, Integrity, and Compassion. I want every student to feel known, supported, and inspired to achieve their very best, both academically and personally. School should be a place where young people grow in confidence, discover their passions, and develop the character to make a positive difference in the world.

As Headmaster, I am excited to build on KH’s strengths while ensuring we continue to embrace innovation, expand opportunities beyond the classroom, champion sustainability, and deepen our sense of community. Above all, my focus is always on people, on the individual journeys of the young people in our care, and the relationships that make this school so special.

I warmly invite you to explore our website and, more importantly, to visit our campus to experience for yourself what makes The King’s Hospital School such a remarkable place to learn and grow.
