King’s Bruton
King’s Bruton is a remarkable school with over 500 years of history. We are blessed with a wonderful location in South Somerset. There are over 360 pupils at King’s and the key to our success, and increasing popularity, is to combine our relatively small size with a high-quality, full boarding education.
King’s Bruton combines an enviable pastoral heart with academic challenge and amazing opportunities.
In recent years we have had outstanding GCSE, A Level and BTEC results with the vast majority of our pupils going on to their first choice of university. Our hockey teams have reached 12 National Finals, there are over 70 pupils in our full Choir, our Chapel Choir sings Evensong in regional cathedrals every term, whilst our 200-seat theatre is the venue for outstanding drama. Our thriving CCF is one of the oldest in the country, and over half of our senior pupils undertake Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards.
King’s pupils are encouraged to respect themselves and others, to adopt a positive attitude, and to strive to be the best they can be. Pupils leave here confident but not arrogant and fully prepared to contribute to life beyond the School gates.
King’s is a busy, happy and thriving community and we would be delighted to welcome you for a visit, we are confident that you will be impressed.
