We are thrilled to announce that King's Ely has been shortlisted for 'Co-educational Independent School of the Year' in the 2025 Independent Schools of the Year Awards! 

The annual awards attracted a record number of nominations this year. Chair of the judging panel, Dr Helen Wright, said: “Reading through this year’s entries, the judges have been particularly struck by the resilience and determination shown by the UK independent schools’ sector in the face of unprecedented challenge to their existence. Meantime, globally, independent schools are facing up to political uncertainty with equal levels of fortitude. Independent schools across the world, it is clear, are working harder than ever to ensure that their students – and the whole community – will develop into well-rounded human global citizens who are able to make the most of their own skills in order to contribute positively to humanity.”

Finalists will be revealed in September, ahead of the awards ceremony in October. Wish us luck!
