Welcome to King's School & Nursery
King’s School and Nursery in Plymouth is a co-educational independent school for children aged 8 months up to 11 years old. We provide a complete education in a warm and nurturing environment.
Our strong sense of family and community, where each child is guided and encouraged to aim high and do their best both academically and personally, is something we are very proud of. Good manners and thoughtfulness for others are core values and children learn to take responsibility whilst gaining in self-confidence, self-discipline and maturity.

We’re finalists! King’s School is proud to be shortlisted for the ISA Award for Excellence and Innovation in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
At a time when so much of the news speaks of division and exclusion, our children remind us daily what belonging truly looks like — joy, friendship, and unity.
