Junior King’s Canterbury Open Morning

Event date: 11 Oct 2025

"Where happy children learn to engage in new experiences."

  Welcome to Junior King's, Canterbury from the Head I warmly welcome you to Junior King’s School, where you will discover a very special, inclusive and friendly community. Every child in our care is an individual. We uphold the values of building self-esteem and self-belief in a very supportive and kind atmosphere. Our much-loved school is steeped in history, yet our teaching methodology is advanced, innovative, and modern. Junior King’s is the best prep school for local and international pupils, recognised globally for the breadth of our creative education.  We find the spark in every child whether academic, musical, dramatic, creative, technical, or sporting, and do so in an environment where children are happy, nurtured, and able to discover and develop their own individual strengths. At Junior King’s, the children are at the very centre of all we do, and we aim to provide them with skills for life, including how to think creatively, how to be curious, how to work well together in teams and how to help to develop resilience. We pride ourselves on our strong links to both Canterbury Cathedral and to the King’s School, Canterbury, Britain’s oldest day and boarding school, where the majority of our pupils move on to at the end of Year 8. The warmth, enthusiasm and energy of our inspirational teaching and pastoral staff at Junior King’s are truly unique. I invite you to visit to discover our remarkable school in person.
