Would King's Bruton be a good fit for my child?

Life at King’s is full of variety and opportunities. Pupils enjoy a broad and challenging academic curriculum. Outside of the classroom there is a myriad of sports to take part in and a plethora of chances to shine musically or dramatically. King’s is proud of its Christian ethos and the Chaplaincy provides countless moments during the week when pupils can, if they wish, explore matters of faith.

The extracurricular activities programme remains wide-ranging and ever-changing whilst there are scores of chances for pupils to spread their wings during CCF and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme. At the heart of the King’s Bruton community lies the six boarding houses, each with their own unique identity and fantastic system of pastoral care and support for pupils.
