Welcome to The King's Academy

Our sixth form college within the school community is a place that offers a unique opportunity for young people to develop their character and skills that make them strong applicants for university or other destinations and become the student leaders in the Academy. As role models and ambassadors, there is a wide range of opportunities for King’s sixth formers to develop leadership skills, including as head girl and head boy, house captains, prefects, senior prefects, reading partners and subject assistants. We value excellence in our academic studies, offering a wide range of courses delivered by high-quality subject experts. The opportunity to explore our subjects in depth with a smaller group of passionate students is highly valued by our students.
