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.

🏐 Undefeated and unstoppable! On Thursday 13th, King’s headed to St Joseph’s for a netball tournament and smashed it—7 matches, 7 wins! 💪
For many, it was their first competitive game, but you wouldn’t have guessed it! Clara fired off some epic chest passes, Rose and Annabelle nailed their shots, Max B intercepted like a pro, Hugo and Max CB made smart plays, and Flo and Hugo held the defence with power and positivity.
The team showed incredible skill, teamwork, and true sportsmanship throughout. You made King’s proud—well done, legends! 👏🎉 #TeamKings #NetballChampions #ProudMoment #kingsschoolplymouth

Our Year 6 pupils had an incredible day stepping back in time at Stiltskin Theatre, taking part in an immersive World War II experience! From learning about life on the Home Front to understanding the bravery and resilience of those who lived through the war, in Plymouth and further afield, it was a powerful and memorable visit.
Ahead of Armistice Day, the children also visited the war memorial in Devonport Park to pay their respects and reflect on the sacrifices made by so many. Wearing their poppies with pride, they took a quiet moment to honour the fallen and remember the importance of peace#
