Kingham Hill School
An independent, co-educational day and boarding school for pupils aged 11-18
Welcome to Kingham Hill
Dean Close Kingham Hill School is a vibrant, co-educational day and boarding school for pupils aged 11–18. Set in 105 acres of stunning Cotswold countryside, it offers the perfect environment in which to study, relax, and be active.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, the school is remarkably well connected: London Heathrow is just 90 minutes away, while direct rail services offer easy access to London (80 minutes) and Oxford (29 minutes), creating a rare balance of countryside tranquillity and convenient accessibility.
The best advertisement for a school is its pupils, and if you ask current parents why they chose Kingham Hill for their son or daughter, they invariably speak of the impression that friendly, happy, and well-balanced pupils made on them when visiting us.
We pride ourselves on our commitment to every individual pupil. Each young person is known, valued, and encouraged to develop their character, confidence, and talents to the fullest. Supported by experienced academic and pastoral staff, pupils thrive in an environment that combines intellectual curiosity and opportunity with exceptional pastoral care.

Teaching and Learning
There is a science to learning and an art to teaching. At Kingham Hill, our teaching staff not only have excellent subject knowledge but commit to a professional learning culture, with excellent results.
Co-Curriculum
We are proud to offer a wide range of regular sports, clubs and activities that educate, enrich and engage our pupils. These activities are embedded into the school day as part of the daily timetable, or towards the end of each afternoon.
Day and Boarding
Every pupil belongs to one of eleven houses that act as large, extended families. There are on average 15-40 pupils per house with a range of ages in each. We have four day and seven boarding houses which have their own inviting social lounges, games rooms and quiet rooms.
Sixth Form
The Sixth Form provides an environment in which pupils can flourish both academically and personally, balancing academic ambition with engagement in sport, activities, leadership, and service to others. We encourage pupils to take ownership of their individual journeys, while supporting and challenging them every step of the way, so that they grow into confident young adults who lead with integrity and purpose.
School History
In the early days, Kingham Hill was a self-sufficient community. The school had a working farm, school building, chapel, workshops, sanatorium and boarding houses. The Founder ensured that every child in his care learned to read and write, gained a trade and had the benefit of understanding the Christian faith.
