Admissions
School Admissions
Kings’ School, Winchester is a popular and oversubscribed school. We have around 1,800 pupils in total, and a Published Admission Number (PAN) of 360 pupils for each academic year. Most of these come as Year 7 entry from linked schools within catchment, with some exceptions. It is always valuable to see a school in action if you can before completing your child’s secondary school application, which usually has a deadline for completion in October of Year 6.
There are several ways for parents of prospective pupils to see Kings’ School at work.
