We are delighted to welcome Tom Dryden as our new Director of Sport.

Tom joins us from Whanganui Collegiate School in New Zealand, where he has spent the past four years working across school sport, coaching, boarding and pastoral care. Most recently, he served as Acting Director of Sport.

With experience coaching cricket, hockey and rugby, and a strong background in cricket as both a player and coach, Tom is passionate about creating sporting opportunities for all pupils and helping young people develop both on and off the field.

We look forward to welcoming Tom to the KH community and to the energy, experience and ambition he will bring to our sporting programme.

Welcome to KH, Tom! 🏏🏑🏉

What if a year at school could change everything?

In this video shot during our TY Festival of Learning, Canada's major digital news outlet, La Presse, explores the experience of Transition Year (TY) at The King’s Hospital School — a unique year that gives students the opportunity to step beyond the traditional classroom, embrace new opportunities and develop confidence and independence. 🎓
