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 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.

Year 6 had an amazing experience at the Netball tournament hosted by St. Joseph’s today. They secured victories in three games and narrowly lost in two. The children showcased fantastic skills and were incredibly supportive, both towards each other and the opposing teams. Their exemplary sportsmanship and teamwork were truly commendable, making the day enjoyable for everyone involved. Here’s to more thrilling matches and unforgettable moments! 🏆✨
