King's College School, commonly referred to as KCS, King's, or KCS Wimbledon, is an independent school located in Wimbledon in south-west London, United Kingdom. The school was founded as the junior department of King's College London and occupied part of its premises in Strand, before relocating to Wimbledon in 1897. It is a member of the Eton Group of schools. In September 2010, KCS admitted girls into the sixth form for the first time.[1] Starting September 2013 it will be offering both The International Baccalaureate and A-Levels.[2]
History
A Royal Charter by King George IV originally founded the School in 1829 as the junior department of the newly established King's College, London. The School occupied the basement of the College in The Strand. Most of its original eighty-five pupils lived in the City within walking distance of the School. During the early Victorian Period, the School grew in numbers and reputation. Members of the teaching staff included Gabriele Rossetti, who taught Italian. His son, Dante Gabriel, joined the School in 1837. The best known of the early masters was the water-colourist, John Sell Cotman. Nine of his pupils became practising artists and ten architects. By 1843 there were five hundred pupils and the need for larger premises eventually led to the move to Wimbledon in 1897. The School was progressive in its curriculum in many areas and appointed its first Science Master in 1855, at a time where very few schools taught science. The first Head Master, John Major, served the School between 1831–1866. Ninety-nine of the school's pupils from this period appear in the Dictionary of National Biography.
Until the 1880s, the School flourished. In 1882, only Eton College surpassed the total of thirty Oxford and Cambridge Board examination certificates obtained by pupils at KCS. But the School's teaching facilities were becoming increasingly inadequate as many competitor schools moved to new sites with modern facilities and large playing fields. In 1897, falling numbers of pupils prompted the move to the School's present site in Wimbledon, a fast growing suburb well served by the railway lines from Surrey and south London. A separate junior school was opened on the same campus in 1912.
In World War I, many letters were written to the school, including some from the Battle of the Somme. During World War II, the school's Great Hall was damaged by bomb shrapnel, and some of the damage can still be seen on the outside of the hall.
The only remaining link between KCS and its former parent is that one of the KCS Board of Governors is nominated by King's College London.
Today
King's College School is one of the highest academically performing schools in the UK historically and to date, coming second in the country's league table of independent schools in 2007.[3]
All sixth-formers at King's currently study the IB Diploma, but from September 2013 pupils joining the Sixth Form will have the choice of studying either the International Baccalaureate or A-Levels. In 2008 13 pupils obtaining the maximum IB score of 45 points, equivalent to 7 A grades at A-Level – a score achieved by only 72 pupils worldwide that year.[4] In GCSEs, in 2008 34 boys gained 10 or more straight A*s, with 17 of these gaining 11 or more. Overall, in 2008 88% of all GCSE grades were at A or A*, which rose to 94% in 2009. In 2009 the average score for the school was 40.0 with 10 pupils obtaining the maximum 45 points.[5] In the Daily Telegraph and the Times - when gauging success in A level, IB, and Pre-U results all together placed King's as the second highest ranking sixth form in the UK in 2012. King's was also named Sunday Times IB School of the Year in 2009 and 2012.[6]

Exit: A few leave post-GCSE, often in pursuit of A levels (likely to become even fewer in future). The rest stay on and leave for top universities - 55 offers - 30% of the 182 cohort for Oxbridge in 2013, with 50 who eventually went, the rest to London University colleges or heavyweight provincials e.g. Durham and Bristol, to do traditional subjects. Increasing numbers heading overseas - recent destinations include Cornell, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Johns Hopkins and Brown.[9][10]

The majority of pupils come to the school from south west London, north Surrey and neighbouring areas. 64% of the Year 9 entry consists of boys who continue from the King's College Junior School, 34% enter from other preparatory schools and about 2% come from overseas. At a recent count around 450 applied for the 60 places available at 13+ entry. The Good Schools Guide described the school as "an inspiring place to be," adding, "Boys work and play very hard in this wonderful school community".[12] It is a member of the Eton Group of 12 leading independent schools, and of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference. Senior School fees are currently [2013-14] £18,900 per year.[13]
The last headmaster (Mr ACV Evans) won the best headmaster of a public school category at the annual Tatler School Awards 2005. Mark Palmer, editor of the Tatler School's Guide, said that he "thought it was about time it was recognised for being an all-round, academically excellent school", he added, "That has a lot to do with the professionalism and integrity of Tony Evans".[14] The school is currently under the headship of Mr AD Halls, who succeeded Tony Evans in January 2008. He too received Tatler's best headmaster of a public school award in 2011[15]
The school is located on Southside, Wimbledon Common, on a 24-acre (97,000 m2) site, with the main building being the 19th century Great Hall. The School has 20 Science laboratories and a demonstration laboratory, alongside the 1st XV pitch. The buildings include the Q-block (based around the Quadrangle), College Court, South Hayes, the Taylor Wing, the Reeve School of Art & Design, and the Sports Hall, as well as the Junior School, which has its own buildings, and Rushmere house. There are 4 rugby pitches on the main site for use by the Senior School, with Coleman's field providing additional pitches for the Junior School. There are 6 tennis courts on site also, along with 4 squash courts, a 33m swimming pool and a 25 metre shooting range. There are two additional playing field sites, in Raynes Park and on West Barnes Lane, which provide two fully lit astroturf pitches as well. A new pavilion was opened at West Barnes Lane in September 2011 to replace the old changing rooms.
Sport
The main sport during the Autumn Term is Rugby, where the school fielded 13 sides during the 2009-10 season. The fixture list for 2009-10 included Cranleigh, St. Paul's, Reed's, Dulwich, Eton, Harrow, Wimbledon College, Whitgift, RGS Guildford, King's Canterbury, St. John's Leatherhead and Tiffin. The First XV and the U15As enter the Daily Mail Cup, and reached the Quarter Finals of the U19 Cup in 2006 and 2007 and the semi-finals of the U15 Vase in 2008 and 2009. The school went on a tour to South Africa in 2010, winning every game.
In football the school reached the Final of the Trinity School's Cup in 2010, and plays a fixture list that includes Hampton, Dulwich, and Latymer. There are football tours every few years to Ireland, and preseason training takes place at Bisham abbey during the Christmas holidays. In Hockey the school also competes at a high level, playing schools like RGS, KGS, and Caterham. There are hockey tours every three years, with the next tour probably happening in 2011.
|
In the summer, the main sport is cricket. The school plays cricket against schools in 2009 that included Whitgift, Dulwich, Winchester, St. Paul's and St. John's Leatherhead. The success of the cricket teams has suffered slightly due to the early nature of the school's IB exams in comparison to other schools who do A-levels, meaning fewer players in the U6th play, with resulting knock on effects in lower teams. The school's cricket team also tours around every three years, the last tour being to Barbados in 2008. Tennis is also played during the summer, with training camps in Majorca.
Rowing is a popular sport throughout the year. The boat club races in the regatta season, culminating with Henley Royal Regatta, where it reached the second round of the Princess Elizabeth Challenge Cup in 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2013. The 1st VIII also race in the National Schools Regatta, having won the Child Beale Cup in 2004 and 2012, and reaching the final of the Championship 8s category in 2013. Boats also participate in the Long Distance Nationals, and have achieved a J148x+B gold medal. The school boathouse is used by the Cambridge University boat race squad.
Individual sports are also of high importance. The school plays regular matches and tournaments in squash, badminton, fencing, basketball, water polo and tennis.
Houses
There are 6 houses in the Senior School named after previous headmasters and notable old boys of the school. Boys wear a standard red and blue school tie until they achieve 6 house points, at which point they are awarded the right to wear a house tie of navy blue with thin stripes of the following colours:
- Green: Alverstone house, named after Richard Webster, 1st Viscount Alverstone (barrister, politician and Judge, died 1915)
- Blue: Glenesk house, named after Algernon Borthwick, 1st Baron Glenesk (journalist, editor and newspaper proprietor, died 1908)
- Purple: Kingsley house, named after Henry Kingsley (gold prospector, mounted policeman, novelist, newspaper editor and war correspondent, died 1876)
- Red: Layton house, named after Walter Layton, 1st Baron Layton (economist, editor and newspaper proprietor, died 1966)
- Grey: Maclear house, named after George Frederick Maclear (the school's second Head Master, who served between 1866–1880)
- Yellow: Major house, named after John Major (the school's first Head Master, who served between 1831–1866)
House points are awarded for participation in inter-house competitions throughout the year.
Other ties include (in order of increasing seniority) School Colours (Dark blue with a single red school crest), the Prefect's tie (Red with navy blue school crests), and the Senior Prefect's tie (Navy blue with red school crests).
King's College Junior School
King's College Junior School (also known as KCJS) is the preparatory school for King's College School located in Wimbledon, London. It was established in its own right in 1912, and educates boys from ages 7–13.[16] It occupies the same campus as the senior school.
In 2005 enrollment in the junior school totaled 444 boys, divided into six year groups with four classes of about 20, except in year 4 where there were three classes. Fees were £4,660 per term for years 3-4, and £5,260 per term for years 5-8 in 2010-12.[13] The headmaster is Dr G A Silverlock.[17]
The uniform is a red blazer with the emblem in blue on the top pocket. Every boy wears a white shirt and grey shorts or trousers. The ties are similar to the Senior School ties, and prefects in the top year ("Upper Remove") wear Senior School ties.
The Junior School has featured very strongly in national competitions too[citation needed] - they were National Rugby Champions at U13 level in 2009. In the same year the Junior School ran away with the team prize on its return to the national Townsend-Warner Competition for History and had twelve pupils qualify for the UK Junior Mathematics Olympiad. They continued to excel in the Townsend-Warner prize, with a record winning streak of three years from 2009 to 2011 and two individual winners in 2011 and 2012.
All boys are allocated to one of the school's four houses when they join (siblings are placed into the same house):
