New Term at The King’s School

This year at The King’s School we are again reminded to fix our eyes on Jesus; who he is and what he has done. As we do, we pray for each of our pupils to come to know him and grow in their relationship with him. We want the Bible to be central to all we do, and we want to be expectant to see God work and move powerfully.

As a reminder, our vision is to be a Christ-centred, independent school, nurturing children in godly character and academic development. Our mission is to support parents in discipling their children: to reach their academic potential, to know God and develop their relationship with him, and to serve and influence others through godly attitudes and actions.  

We’re privileged to have 199 pupils enrolled this year from Nursery up to Year 11. This term we are also celebrating 30 years of Stepping Stones, our Early Years provision!  We’re so grateful to all those who have invested in our youngest pupils over many years.

Prayer Points

We would really value your prayers for the following this term:

• For us to hear God’s voice in all decisions and obey Him 
• For us to be dependent on God in everything, bringing everything to Him in prayer
