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.

📸⚓ A huge thank you to one of our incredible Naval mums who delivered a brilliant and inspiring assembly this morning as part of our Royal Marines and Royal Navy Charity Week!
Our pupils were captivated hearing about life in the Royal Navy, and it was a wonderful opportunity for them to learn more about service, commitment, and the importance of supporting our Armed Forces.
We’re so proud to have such amazing families as part of our King’s community. 💙
