Head
Since January 2017, Matthew Shoults MA, quietly unassuming yet ‘a bit of a legend’. Educated at King’s College School, Wimbledon, then read classics at Worcester College, Oxford. Spent two years on the civil service’s graduate fast track scheme before deciding teaching would be more stimulating. After a PGCE at Cambridge he returned to KCS to teach classics for four years.

Special Education Needs
This is a selective school, and all successful candidates are selected primarily on academic grounds with any Special Educational Need or Disability (SEND) being taken into account. Access arrangements are available as appropriate for candidates who need them whilst sitting the entrance examination. Both the Junior and Senior schools have a Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator (SENDCo) who works to ensure that every student with additional learning needs or a disability receives all the support they need. The majority of our SEND provision is provided through the highest quality teaching. Every member of staff is made aware of any specific support a student might need. Some students are offered additional provision either individually or in groups, as best suits their needs.
