School Life

We have a strong pastoral support network running throughout the school. Each student is assigned to a tutor group of approximately 10-15 and the tutor is the first port of call for any academic or pastoral issues.

The boarding community represents around 30% of the College population. This vibrant, friendly and creative community adds so much to the College as a whole.

An education begins in the classroom, but does not end there. Learning is not just about the induction of knowledge, but about learning how to learn.

School trips can make a major contribution to the acquisition of knowledge and development of skills. Studies of the natural and man-made world, the present and past, Science and Arts, Language and Music can all be enhanced outside the classroom.

Every pupil in King William's College is assigned to one of three houses, Colbourne, Dickson and Walters. These houses are co-educational and serve for purposes of competition.

The Dr Scholl Library is a fine facility central to the intellectual, academic and cultural life of the pupils.

Our own beautifully decorated Chapel is the spiritual heart of the school.
