Admissions Military Families
A RICH MILITARY HERITAGE
King’s College is proud to have a strong military tradition and rich heritage, dating back to 1880 right through to the present day, which helps make us the school of choice for many HM Forces and FCDO families. Our Headmaster, Michael Sloan, who joined the school in September 2022, served as an officer in The Rifles for six years, after commissioning from the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, during which time he was deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo.
“King’s is an outstanding school with a rich history dating back to 1880. What sets it apart today is its vibrant and dynamic family community, inspiring pupils to fulfil their potential and make a real difference in the world around them.”
Michael Sloan, Headmaster of King’s College.

MILITARY FAMILIES AT KING’S
We have extensive experience supporting the families of those serving in the British Armed Forces in their search for the right school for their children, and we have an in-depth understanding of the challenges and complexities of making the right choice.
As a small to medium-sized day and full boarding school, our size and ethos make us the perfect fit for military and service families looking for a home-from-home environment for their children. We offer a vibrant and close-knit boarding community, inspiring pupils to fulfil their potential and make a real difference to the world around them.
We understand the pressures of being part of a military family and actively care and support each other.

SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
We are a co-educational school for ages 2-18, offering full boarding from Year 3 (age 8), so providing much-valued continuity of education for siblings. We place a considerable amount of importance on creating an environment that is safe, welcoming and supportive. Although our traditional entry point is September, we are very open to discussing more flexible arrangements to make a child’s integration into school life as smooth as possible. Our experienced and caring Houseparents understand the challenges that Forces families might be facing, and will ensure that there is always someone there to listen, sympathise and provide individual care and guidance.
