The School opened its doors on 1st August 1833.
In 2018, our average was 34.2 points, which equates to more UCAS points than 3A* at A level.
36% of our IGCSE grades were A*/A (9-7) in 2018.
Our average class size is 15. In Sixth Form it reduces to 10.
There are 364 pupils at King William's College, with 114 in the Sixth Form. Pupils enter at age 11.
Our son has been at King William’s College for two years and has settled in very well with the full support of the boarding staff and teachers, who have demonstrated great kindness and caring. The highly disciplined, but dynamic education system has helped our 15 year old son to adapt well and his confidence has noticeably improved in a short space of time. What's especially pleasing is that not only does the College have an excellent calibre of teaching staff and a strong academic curriculum, but we have been surprised and delighted to discover their excellent music achievements! With such great experience, our second son will also join KWC starting at Lower 5, to have a well rounded education. We cannot be more pleased with our decision to send our sons here all the way from Hong Kong!
