For The Juniors

Junior King’s is a co-educational day and boarding school set in a stunning eighty-acre countryside location just two miles from the city of Canterbury and only 50 minutes from St Pancras Station, London. The school caters for children aged 3-13 years with most pupils going on to the prestigious King’s School, Canterbury.

A historic school, founded in 1879, but one that is never stuck in history, Junior King’s stands out as a place bursting with energy, dynamism and a real enjoyment of learning.  The children are at the heart of everything the school does and there is a belief that with a positive and creative approach comes happy, engaged children.

Junior King’s prides itself in its excellent pastoral care. Academic results take care of themselves when children are well looked after, feel safe, and have the time to reflect on what they have done during the day. The school wants children to experience success, a real love of what they do, and a heightened sense of self-esteem and modest confidence.

The school is constantly looking for new opportunities to give the children a chance to discover their particular talents and to flourish. The children do so well, and go so far, precisely because the first goal is their happiness, which is achieved by finding something each child is really good at. That is then nurtured in an environment where independence, the ability to exercise choice and to engage in self-evaluation and reflection are paramount.

There is an aim to evolve the curriculum with the times and think of new ways to foster important life skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity that will allow the children to excel in a future we can only imagine. The extra-curricular enrichment programme offers pupils a range of opportunities to develop their interests in different areas, and includes fencing, dance, rowing, sailing, horse riding, debating, current affairs and chess.
