the king's (the cathedral) school
Peterborough
Our long history and exceptional achievements are things of which we are all
extremely proud. We are convinced that pupils of all abilities will thrive in
our challenging, supportive and friendly environment. The care we take over
promoting wellbeing is at the heart of this academic success. Excellent
examination results are important, but not enough. Our aim is to encourage
pupils to be balanced individuals, happy in their own success, and confident
enough to give their full commitment to all that they do. The individual’s
wellbeing, we believe, is rooted in a confident sense of who they are. This
confidence and sense of value grows as a child experiences the benefits of
contributing to School teams, in orchestras or, perhaps, as a key member of a
production. It is through such contributions that a child discovers how to
belong, as well as feeling confident about their contribution to their wider
community. In this way your sons and daughters will learn not only to take
advantage of the vast array of opportunities that are available at The King’s
School, but also to lead full, rewarding and balanced lives. In our Cathedral
School, mental health and wellbeing is at the heart of all we do. We seek to
nurture a sense of belonging to our extended family, in which every member is
valued. We do all we can to support every child, and adult, at The King’s School
and to treat them as an individual, capable of making a unique, distinctive and
valued contribution. Our goal is that, by the time your child leaves us they,
and their family, will have enjoyed the reward of being a part of a ‘Family
Achieving Excellence’. Such a welcome awaits every child, and family, that joins
us and we ask that your sons and daughters will respect alternative views, show
empathy and compassion, and develop an understanding of their own beliefs as
well as the beliefs, and values, of others.
