King's College School, Wimbledon is a kind and inclusive community where pupils' exceptional academic success makes King's one of the world's leading schools.

The prestigious Sunday Times Parent Power guide named King's as the International Baccalaureate School of the Year in 2025. King's has been offering the diploma alongside A levels for more than 20 years, with pupils consistently achieving an average point score of over 40 - well above the UK average of 35. This year, pupils achieved an average score of 41.25, with 62% of all Higher Level subjects awarded the top grade of 7 (equivalent to an A* at A level). There were also remarkable individual successes, with 8 pupils achieving the maximum 45 points and 16 pupils achieving an impressive 44 or 45 points. Pupils go on to study at the world's leading universities; over the last five years, 224 leavers have won places to study at Oxford or Cambridge.

Founded by Royal Charter in 1829, the school's heritage is rooted in intellectual endeavour and a progressive spirit. Yet, a King's education is so much more than academic excellence; it is an exhilarating adventure of learning and discovery in a fun, welcoming, safe and caring environment. King's offers a true education in Mind, Spirit and Heart, enabling pupils to grow strong in spirit and in the school's shared values as they become the person they are inspired to be; furnishing them with the very best preparation to create their futures and make a purposeful and positive contribution in the wider world.

Outstanding pastoral care is central to the school's success. Pupils are supported by the same tutor throughout their time at school, as well as having support available from others including counsellors and our learning enrichment department.

King's is renowned for its co-curricular programme (CCA) which is designed to ignite curiosity and foster lifelong passions. There are over 150 activities, clubs and societies, with something for everyone. Such is the importance placed on CCA that not only are there extra-long lunch breaks to enable participation, an entire Friday afternoon is devoted to them every week. As well as a huge variety of sporting, drama, art and musical activities offered throughout the school week, pupils can also sign up to the Combined Cadet Force and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme. King's award-winning community projects are always popular with over 450 pupils volunteering in 50+ initiatives every week.

Places for girls and boys are available for entry into our co-educational sixth form via entrance tests. Academic, music, sport, drama and art scholarships are available, and King's remains committed to widening access through its bursary programme. Awards are up to and including 100% fee remission (i.e. free places) and there is also help with extra costs like uniform, lunches and equipment.
