There are 350 pupils at King\u2019s and the key to our success, and sustained popularity, is to combine our relatively small size with a high quality education.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years we have had outstanding GCSE, A-Level and BTEC results with the vast majority of our pupils going on to their first choice of university. Our hockey teams have reached 12 National Finals in the last seven years with our U16 girls winning the English Schools&#8217; National Indoor Hockey Championships in 2017. There are over 70 pupils in our full Choir, our Chapel Choir sing Evensong in regional cathedrals every term, whilst our 200-seat theatre is the venue for outstanding drama. Our thriving CCF is one of the oldest in the country whilst over half of our senior pupils undertake Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards.<\/p>\n<p>I asked a pupil to describe King\u2019s Bruton to me in three words and she said, without hesitation, \u201cCaring. Community. Happy\u201d. I would like to add, \u201cQuality. Excellence. Achievement&#8221;. Your son and daughter will not be allowed to drift, to hide or to get lost at King\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>As Headmaster I set myself two challenges: I want all pupils to leave King\u2019s saying firstly, \u201cI enjoyed School\u201d, and secondly, \u201cI couldn\u2019t have done any more\u201d. This can be seen in our alumni films here. King\u2019s pupils are encouraged to respect themselves and others, to adopt a positive attitude, and to strive to be the best they can be. Pupils leave here confident but not arrogant and fully prepared to contribute to life beyond the School gates. King\u2019s is a busy, happy and thriving community and we would be delighted to welcome you for a visit: I am confident that you will be impressed.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>King\u2019s Bruton is a remarkable school.
