Boardingat The King’sHospitalThe King’s Hospital offers a boarding education that is unrivalled. The dedicated boarding house teams are always on-hand to give both wellbeing and academic support, combined with encouragement and advice. Our impressive 85-acre sports & leisure campus, combined with excellent indoor facilities such as our pool, fitness centre, arts & music studios, ensure boarders have a diverse range of recreational opportunities. This provides the necessary balance to the academic rigour of school and evening & weekend study. All of our students are encouraged to participate in our very extensive extra-curricular programme during the school week and we carefully plan our weekends with the teenager in mind, so that we offer a balance of fun, cultural excursions, ‘down-time’ and physical activity.

We endeavour to provide a homely atmosphere for our boarding students, and vibrant spaces that seamlessly brings all our students together. In that spirit, we are undertaking a significant upgrade of our boarding and common room facilities during 2018/19.
