About King’s Ely
Nestled in the beautiful cathedral city of Ely, King’s Ely is a leading independent co-educational day and boarding school.
We are located just 15 minutes from Cambridge and one hour from London, with direct rail links to both.
Our privately-run school minibuses stop at key locations around Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, and Norfolk.
As one of the oldest schools in the country; founded in 970 AD, King’s Ely nurtures the academic and pastoral needs of around 1,100 pupils from the age of 2 through to 18.
We are proud to have received an ‘excellent’ rating in all areas following our latest ISI Inspection, recognising the highest levels of pastoral care, academic rigour, and extra-curricular activity.
The ethos of a King’s Ely education enables students of all ages to flourish, from the children in King’s Ely Acremont Pre-Prep to the young men and women in our Sixth Form.
The progress that young people make throughout their King’s Ely journey is astounding, and accounts for our high placement in local and national added-value rankings, including the top five in Cambridgeshire.
Whether a student shines in a classroom, in a laboratory, on a stage, on a pitch, or on a mountainside, we promise an abundance of opportunity for personal development, both academically and socially.
King’s Ely is more than a school. We are a community; a family. We take each child on a seamless journey, travelling from one section to the next, whilst welcoming newcomers at key transition stages, giving support and adapting the offering to the needs of every child in our care.
Ely Cathedral serves as our school chapel and makes the perfect setting for assemblies and concerts.
With over 35 nationalities represented at King’s Ely, students enjoy their schooldays in the company of friends from a range of cultures and backgrounds.
