We are immensely proud to announce that King's High, Warwick has been named a Tatler School 2025, a prestigious accolade that celebrates outstanding achievements in education. This recognition places us amongst the finest schools in the country.

Adding to our excitement, we are beyond thrilled that our Head Master, Dr Stephen Burley, has been shortlisted for the coveted 'Best Head of a Public School' Award in the Tatler Schools Guide Awards. This accolade, for a Head who goes 'above and beyond', acknowledges Dr Burley’s exceptional leadership, vision, and commitment to making King's High an exceptional place in which to thrive.

The winners of the Tatler Schools Guide Awards will be announced at a highly anticipated ceremony in London on 23 September.

Read Tatler's review of King's High:

One mother feels 'privileged to have experienced King's as both an Old Girl and as a parent, and delighted the ethos remains very similar.'

But this school isn't stuck in the past. Since its foundation in 1879, that ethos has been one of constant, benign transformation, aiming to nurture pupils' characters and to improve their opportunities.

King's is experiencing a surge in Sixth Form applications, with new arrivals outnumbering those who depart after GCSEs. And its results speak for themselves, with nearly 80 per cent of leavers going on to study at their first-choice destinations and 59 per cent to the Russell Group.

However, there's almost no area in which is doesn't excel; from its top-level sports and drama to music, the latter housed in an ultra-modern new building. One teacher who deserves special recognition is Deputy (academic) Dr Philip Seal; not least for inventing the 'Seal Wheel', which helps girls make decisions.

As for inspiring Head Dr Stephen Burley, he's particularly proud of the truly committed pastoral care and wellbeing programmes, and of the partnership King's has formed with Evergreen School for special needs.

At this outward-facing establishment, pupils have regular contact with boys from nearby Warwick School; they share common rooms and study areas in the Sixth Form Centre, stage theatrical productions and team up in a wealth of extra-curricular activities. (The cadet force is a draw for all ages.)

And with the new Way House now open for Sixth Form boarders, King's continues to be future-ready.
