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.

RESPECT

Respect is a cornerstone value, promoting a culture of empathy, kindness, and understanding among pupils and staff.

 

INTEGRITY

 
Integrity is instilled in every aspect of our education, guiding pupils to make honest and moral choices in their academic and personal lives.

 

COMMUNITY

 
King's School cherishes the importance of community, nurturing an inclusive and supportive environment where pupils collaborate, learn, and grow together.

Yesterday,  our Year 6 Tag Rugby team took part in the ISA Sout West Competition hosted by St Christophers.
We had excellent weather for the day and the children demonstrated superb teamwork and skills across the 5 matches we played.
I was so proud to watch them grow and develop with each game and support each other.
Some incredible runs made to the try line and awesome tagging!
Well done to all players!#kingsschoolplymouth #independentschools #plymouth #cognitaway #devonlife
