King’s Bruton is more than a school; it is a community shaped by over five centuries of learning, tradition and shared purpose. Our heritage gives a sense of identity and values, guiding young people to grow, explore interests and aim high. This experience underpins an education that is thoughtful, ambitious and focused on bringing out the best in every pupil.

King’s is renowned for its outstanding pastoral care, underpinned by a strong sense of community that extends beyond the School. Every pupil, day or boarding, belongs to a House, benefiting from a supportive environment that fosters confidence, kindness and a strong sense of self. As a proudly smaller school, King’s combines this close-knit atmosphere with an education of exceptional breadth and quality. Pupils value being part of a school that delivers an education that exceeds its size, while maintaining a spirit of enjoyment and balance.

The King’s School, Bruton Foundation comprises two schools – King’s Bruton and Hazlegrove Prep School and offers the opportunity for a continuity of outstanding education for girls and boys from 2 to 18.

Scholarships And Bursaries

Across the Foundation, including Hazlegrove Prep and King’s Bruton, our Forces’ Bursary is among the most competitive available, offering exceptional pastoral and educational care. Fees, typically around 10%, include an excellent weekend activities programme, ensuring a rich and supportive experience for pupils at both schools.

From the Head
It is a tremendous privilege to be Headmaster at King’s, and to be surrounded not just by dedicated and caring staff, but by a body of pupils who are interesting, fun, and kind. It is a thriving school community, and I would be delighted to welcome you for a visit so that you can see it for yourself.
