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.

 

COMMUNITY

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

Welcome to the Olympic GB rower Chloe Brew fresh back from the Paris 2024 Games. She popped in this morning to see her cousin Sammy in year 6 and also to give a presentation to the whole school about her Olympic adventure. The children and staff had lots of questions and we were all so impressed by Chloe’s commitment and drive to be one of the very best. Thank you Chloe for taking the time to talk to us and inspire the next generation of Olympians. #kingsschoolplymouth #britishrowing #olympics2024 #independentschools #devonlife #cognitaway #devon

We are going to create an allotment area for our pupils just above the pond and within flying distance for our bees. This space will we hope become a base for our gardening club where all the children can get stuck in and help grow vegetables and fruit and enjoy the outside learning experience . #kingsschoolplymouth #independentschools #devonlife #cognitaway #nurserylife

Year 2 decided to use the money they earned on Enterprise day to donate to the RNLI. They decided to donate the money because of the link to our Topic, Beside the Sea as well as having great admiration for the charity and the work they do. #kingsschoolplymouth #rnli #devon
Sharpen your pencils and dig out your socks. Find your school bag and charge your laptops. Dust off your school shoes and polish them well. Check that they fit and hope they don’t smell. Find your snack pot and check the fruit bowl. Remember your homework and set  a new goal. Please don’t worry we are all here, to welcome you back with a great cheer. We’ve missed your faces , voices and chat. We’ve missed your smiles noise and all that. So see you tomorrow and although I shouldn’t tell, it’s ok to be nervous we are as well! #kingsschoolplymouth #independentschool #Plymouth #devon
