King's College School, Wimbledon
11+ Admissions Guide 2026

King's College School is an independent day school for boys aged 11 to 18 and girls aged 16 to 18, situated on the border of Wimbledon Common. Founded by Royal Charter in 1829 as the junior department of King's College, University of London, the school moved to its current site in 1897 and is today overseen by a board of governors. A junior school for boys aged 7 to 11 shares the same site and governing body, though it is run separately. The school aspires to help every pupil develop an independent and enquiring mind, find enjoyment in ideas, and achieve their best. It aims to ensure that all pupils feel equal and that their pastoral, social and academic needs are met in an atmosphere of mutual respect and support. Pupils come from a culturally diverse mix of British and international families living in and around London. The school has identified a number of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, including dyslexia, dyspraxia, and physical or mental health difficulties, with additional specialist support provided for some of these pupils. English is an additional language for a number of pupils, reflecting the broad and varied backgrounds that make up the school community.
