At Kings, we ensure that both inside and outside the classroom you will be totally immersed in an exciting, interactive learning environment which keeps you busy and develops new skills.
This is because we know that successful students are the ones who make the most of their time in and out of the classroom — and can demonstrate to universities that they are well-rounded candidates with broad interests.

Young Enterprise provides support and guidance in enabling young people to form their own companies.
Every year this business and enterprise education charity helps 250,000 UK college students to learn about business and entrepreneurship through practical, real-life experience.
Young Enterprise is a fantastic opportunity for you to learn — at first hand — what it is like to run your own business. Students at Kings have formed their own companies selling real products and services.They issue shares to raise finance and appoint key people such as Managing Director, Finance Director and Sales and Operations teams.
While at Kings, your own company will be guided by local business experts from Young Enterprise throughout its development. You will also have the opportunity to enter regional and national competitions to select the best young business in the UK.
Alan Sisanovic, a Kings student from from Kazakhstan explains:
“It’s great. We’re an international team competing against national teams and we now have a company with stocks, managers and everyone has a role. Everything we’re learning is applicable to the modern world and it’s great preparation for university.”

Debating is a centuries old intellectual discipline and an excellent means of developing skills in critical thinking and argument, as well as in the English language. The ability to speak and debate in public, in English, is a skill for life.
At Kings, all students have the opportunity to have training and participate in debating and public speaking activities, including internal and external competitions.
There is a regular programme of lectures after lessons which students are encouraged to attend. These might cover a variety of topics of general academic, linguistic or cultural interest. Details of the lecture calendar are published in college or on the My Calendar section of ClassMate
You’ll have the opportunity to take part in a range of sports while at Kings. Whether you would like to play just for fun, or would like to join a college team and compete against other colleges, there's something for everyone.
At Kings, there are several clubs and societies for you to join during your free time. These are a great way of meeting new friends and of sharing common interests. You might want to join a film or book club, or perhaps a club focussing on computing, arts or sports. And if there isn’t yet a club devoted your own interest, why not get together with your fellow students and form one!
