At King’s Ely, we appreciate the importance of agencies, not only in introducing students to us, but also in assisting overseas families in making an enormously important decision for their children. A vital part of this is building and nurturing a relationship with our agents.

We want children who will thrive at King’s Ely, displaying energy, courage and integrity in their approach to learning and the vast range of wider activities which we offer. This means it is important that our agents understand the kind of pupils we seek.

We are a day and boarding school, with international families relocating to the UK and seeking day spaces for children of all ages from 2 to 18, as well as those who are sending their child to board with us from the age of 11. We are academically selective, but not elitist. We assess children to ensure that they can cope with the academic rigour of GCSE and A Level courses, and that their language skills and attitude will enable them to take full advantage of being in a British school alongside British students. Approximately 80% of our pupils are British.
