Admissions
School Admissions
Kings’ School, Winchester is a popular and oversubscribed school. We have around 1,750 pupils in total, and a Published Admission Number (PAN) of 360 for pupils in years 9-11. Year 7 has a PAN of 357 and with agreement of the Local Authority, year 8 has a current admission limit of 330.
Most admissions come through 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.
