Welcome from the Head

At King’s House we take pride in offering each child a high-quality, broad academic and co-curricular education, allowing children to develop the skills and mental resilience needed to succeed in their next steps in life. Established in 1946, KHS fosters a lifelong love of learning in a caring and supportive environment, where children feel secure and able to flourish.

Pupils have the opportunity to take part and develop in all areas of school life, so that the needs of each individual are truly catered for, including benefitting from the first class facilities at our 35-acre Sports Ground in Chiswick. We are independent of any senior school and proud of the wide range of schools that our pupils go on to, with many achieving scholarships.

We are delighted to be transitioning to co-education and building on the success of our already co-ed Nursery, and girls joined the school for the first time in September 2024. We hope you’ll find out more about us, and look forward to meeting you soon!

Mark Turner, Head

Refreshingly normal in this often competitive and frenetic world, King’s House is a successful school with a clear sense of purpose. No hot-house, but a friendly school where happy children do well and with exciting developments in the pipeline.
