Kingham Hill School is a small, co-educational boarding and day school for children aged 11–18, set in an idyllic 100 acre estate in the Cotswold countryside where pupils can explore, learn and make their home. With just under 380 pupils in the school, every child is nurtured, challenged and inspired to succeed, both academically and within their personal lives.
Our boarding houses are spacious yet cosy, with an average of just 25 pupils. Likewise, our small class sizes provide tailored support to our pupils, helping them to achieve excellent academic results. Helping every pupil fulfil their potential has been a hallmark of the school for many years, and progress and success are fundamental to what we do. Education is, however, about so much more than qualifications.
The range of experiences and co-curricular provisions on offer make for happy and resilient young people who have an appetite for discovery and an ambition to make their mark on the world. The school is currently home to over 60 pupils from HM Forces families - Forces and UK Diplomatic families pay no more than 10% of fees, with the full CEA entitlement. Staff include many ex-military personnel, who add depth to the support and nurturing of children from military families. Their experience and the family-style boarding community ensures a strong support system for every child.
“Kingham understands the specific needs of Forces families and is a great all-round School nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds.”
Helping every pupil fulfil their potential has been a hallmark of the school for almost 140 years. We are a traditional English day and boarding school, yet one where progress and success are fundamental to what we do.
