King's College Prep School

💙 A new chapter begins for our Year 2 pupils as they take the exciting next step from Pre-Prep into Prep at King's.

One of the many benefits of an all-through education is the smooth and familiar progression through the school. Surrounded by established friendships, supportive staff and the values that underpin life at King's, our children move forward with confidence, ready to embrace new challenges and opportunities while remaining part of the same close-knit community.

Before the summer, our Year 2 pupils celebrated the end of their Pre-Prep journey with a sleepover together, creating special memories and marking an important milestone in their King's story.

We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved so far and look forward to watching them grow, flourish and thrive.

🌟 Behind the Grades 🌟

The results are in, and the next chapter awaits as another generation of King's pupils are ready to step confidently into the world.

This year's cohort has achieved some of the strongest A Level and BTEC results in recent years, earning places at leading universities and opening doors to exciting opportunities in the UK and globally.

Over the coming days, we'll be celebrating some of the pupil stories behind the results.

While their journeys now take them in new directions, they will always remain part of the strong King's community as Old Aluredians.

First up, Jago...

Starting at King's Prep, Jago progressed through the school as an Academic Scholar, combining academic ambition with a passion for cricket.

A key member of the 1st XI since Fifth Form and Vice-Captain in his final year, Jago helped deliver some of the most successful cricketing moments in King's history. He played a pivotal role in National Schools Cricket Cup victories at U15 level in 2023 and with the 1st XI in 2026, finishing the latter tournament as its leading wicket-taker.

Beyond the classroom and cricket pitch, Jago immersed himself in school life, contributing to the Pelican and Phoenix Society, playing hockey and football, and performing guitar at Fox Rocks each year, embracing every opportunity to challenge himself and grow in confidence.

One of his standout memories came in the national semi-final against Bede's School, where the team overcame adversity to secure a memorable victory, reflecting the resilience and team spirit that defined his time at King's.

Jago is particularly grateful for the support of Mrs Cashmore and Mr Ellsworth, who helped guide his academic journey and future aspirations, as well as Mr Lewis and Mr Woodman, whose encouragement was instrumental in his development as a cricketer.

Next, Jago heads to Adelaide, Australia, for six months at a cricket academy before beginning a Psychology degree at Durham University in 2027.

Jago leaves a positive lasting mark on the King's community and we will be watching in anticipation as his journey continues. Good luck for the future Jago, you've been exceptional.

At the Pelican Nursery, learning is about so much more than the classroom.

Trips like our visit to Bristol Zoo give children the opportunity to explore the world around them, discover new animals, ask questions, and create lasting memories with their friends. 🦁

Alongside our daily activities, experiences like these help nurture curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning, all while having plenty of fun along the way.

As we reflect on another fantastic year of the King's Loop, we're proud to recognise the pupils who have recently reached new milestone runs through their commitment to running the loop each week. 🏃

Each lap represents far more than distance covered. It reflects determination, perseverance and the supportive spirit that makes the King's Loop such a special part of life at King's. Whether pupils are working towards their first milestone or their 100th, every achievement deserves to be celebrated. 🏅

We can't wait to see even more pupils achieving their goals when the King's Loop returns in the new academic year.
